The Beginners’ Guide to Urban Sketching with Len Grant

This is a gentle step-by-step approach to putting pen to paper and building up the courage to go out there and capture the urban scene in New Mills. You’ll soon be hooked.

The workshop starts with a short presentation on what urban sketching is all about and a preview of the morning’s activities. You’ll overcome your fear of drawing outside and build up some techniques that will set you on the road to becoming an urban sketcher.

Bring your own materials. A pen and small sketchbook is all you need. If you have some watercolours that would be good. Something to sit on – a camping stool or similar – is a must.
