FAQs - Everything you need to know about urban sketching
Urban sketching means: just get started! We'll show you techniques for sketching quickly and expressively - with simple lines, light and shadow.
Urban sketching is spontaneous sketching on location - be it a street café, a market or the skyline of your city. It's about the mood, not perfection.
We recommend handy sketchbooks with sturdy paper that fit easily in your bag - perfect for travelling!
Smooth but hard-wearing paper that can withstand both fineliner and watercolours works best.
Urban sketching was created by Gabriel Campanario, a Spanish draughtsman, and is now a worldwide movement.
