Would you like a more personal and creative way to remember your day-to-day adventures, trips, and holidays? In this relaxed sketching workshop in London, you’ll learn how to turn everyday moments and travels into a sketchbook full of lively, memorable pages.
No drawing experience is needed -- this workshop is open to complete beginners as well as anyone wanting a more relaxed, enjoyable approach to sketching. You’ll be encouraged to work loosely and intuitively, combining sketching, handwriting, colour, and playful layouts in a way that feels personal rather than perfect.
What to expect:
  • Focus on capturing the feel of a place through key moments -- a walk in nature, a holiday vista, a café table or anything else that captures your eye.
  • Explore easy sketching techniques anyone can do.
  • Figure out how to choose the key moments to capture and get creative with.
  • Experiment with simple, effective page layouts.
  • Adding notes, colour, and details to tell your story and make it truly yours.
  • Use inspiration from your own images, plus our provided images.
By the end, you’ll have the confidence and ideas to start your own sketchbook practice -- a creative way to relive your adventures, big or small.
What you'll get
  • The first chapter in your sketchbook journal -- filled with colourful memories.
  • A set of sketching techniques suited for quick and atmospheric sketching.
  • More eye for storytelling and choosing moments.
  • Creative confidence to work loosely and intuitively, moving past the fear of making mistakes.
  • Inspiration to continue your sketching journey.
