Urban Sketching Starter Kit
Start Sketching the World Around You -
Even If You Think You Can't Draw
​​
Learn the foundations of urban sketching through short videos, a printable workbook, and simple exercises designed to help you stop overthinking and start noticing.
No drawing experience required.
Have you ever wanted to try urban sketching, but...
-
You don't know what supplies you actually need.
-
Perspective feels confusing or intimidating.
-
You worry your drawings won't look "good enough."
-
You aren't sure what to sketch once you sit down.
-
You feel nervous about drawing in public.
-
You think everyone else is naturally talented.
If any of those sound familiar... You're exactly who I created this Starter Kit for!
Imagine Instead...
Imagine carrying a small sketchbook with you and feeling excited to stop for ten minutes at a café, a park, or while traveling.
​
Imagine noticing details you've never paid attention to before.
Imagine creating pages that capture not just what a place looked like, but what it felt like to be there.
​
Urban sketching isn't about making perfect drawings.
​
It's about slowing down, observing your surroundings, and creating meaningful memories one sketch at a time.
The Unexpected Benefits of Carrying A Sketchbook
It Helped Me Slow Down
Instead of rushing through my meal, I spend a little longer noticing the people, the light, the sounds, and the little details I would have otherwise missed.
It Helped Me Feel At Home
Sketching my new city helped unfamiliar places become familiar. The more I drew, the more connected I felt to the neighborhoods around me.
It Helped Me Remember
When I look back at my sketchbook, I don't just remember what I saw. I remember what I ordered, who I was with, how the weather felt, and what made that day special..
It Turned Waiting into Inspiration
Waiting for a train, an appointment, or a friend became an opportunity to sketch instead of scrolling my phone.
It Gave Me The Confidence to Explore
My sketchbook gives me a reason to wander. I've discovered cafés, parks, museums, and neighborhoods I might not have explored otherwise.
It Reminds Me That Imperfect is Enough
Not every sketch turns out the way I hoped, and that is okay. Some of my favorite pages aren't my best drawings but they capture a moment I never want to forget.

Why I Created This Course
When I moved to Barcelona, I discovered that urban sketching became much more than learning to draw.
​
It gave me a reason to slow down.
​
To notice and explore.
​
To create memories that photographs could never quite capture.
​
I created this starter kit because I believe anyone can experience those same benefits - even if you've never filled a sketchbook before.
