In this walking tour we’ll rediscover Melbourne’s CBD while learning how to sketch from scratch!
City Precinct and City of Melbourne are sponsoring a new set of Look Draw Love Melbourne – Sketch the City, so we can show you the amazing hidden corners and laneways around our beautiful city. All this totally free!
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.
NO DRAWING EXPERIENCE REQUIRED! Total newbies encouraged!
