Develop your drawing skills on this one day urban sketching workshop.

Join us for a walk through Wakefield, exploring its architectural history as well as looking at the hidden beauty that exists in the old and new – learning urban sketching, view finding and composition techniques to create quick plein air sketches of our environment, before returning to the Learning Space at Art House to create more detailed and developed illustrations!

Please note, in the event of really poor weather we may need to reschedule the workshop date. Fingers crossed for a dry day and even some sunshine!

Who is this workshop for?

The workshop is suitable for early career artists or beginners who would like to progress their drawings into sketches of the local environment. It will be taught with step-by-step directions to build your confidence in urban sketching.

Do I need to bring anything?

Basic materials will be provided, but do bring your own sketchbook along if you have one!
