Which course should I do?

A comprehensive programme for you to develop your own style

and sketch with confidence out on location

SketchingNow courses have been designed to build on each other so ideally Foundations is the best place to start.

Many urban sketchers are self-taught and it’s easy to get in a rut if they don’t have a solid foundation of the most important sketching skills. SketchingNow courses have been designed to give sketchers the skills they need to develop their work in their own unique style.

All courses assume a working knowledge of the Foundations concepts (such as being able to see in edges, shapes and volumes, use sight measuring to determine proportions and understand how to compose a sketch using the rule of thirds). Please check out the Foundations Fridays articles on Liz’s blog for more details of the concepts in Foundations.

Your courses have been such wonderful learning experiences for me.
The way you have designed them allows students freedom to work at their own pace, yet have structure and support.

 

Being involved in Group Run-Throughs, has been the best because in sharing our reflections and our work
we learn more about our own skills, and from others’ practices, as well.

 

Then there’s the feedback given and received that helps focus us on the elements we are working on, even more.

It’s a very collaborative way of learning.

 

The addition of live streams has been fabulous. You’re giving us feedback to concerns and

questions with demos live, and we can chat about them live!

 

Really powerful…and that’s built community among us, pupils & teacher!
