Urban Sketching: Sketch the City with Emilie
Description
In this walking tour we’ll rediscover Melbourne’s CBD while learning how to sketch from scratch!
Urban sketching is when we create quick sketches while on location. It’s about the essence of the moment and the fun of the process.
These sketches fill notebooks, along with comments and thoughts about the places we visit, and can become a beautiful memory log of our trips.
Your host, Emilie Walsh, will show you how to get started, then you’ll get lots of tips and tricks to make your sketches come to life.
Sketching or drawing can be very beneficial for your mental health as a way of de-stressing, it's very useful to transfer thoughts and emotions into paper and to explain concepts visually.
All materials are provided.
This experience is perfect for:
Exploring the city
Perfect for beginner sketches (learn from a pro)
Useful for relaxing and de-stressing
All materials supplied
These tours are free, sponsored by City Precinct and City of Melbourne. Thank you!
