My independent workshop · In preparation

Walk & Draw

The freedom of mark making.

We head outdoors with sketchbooks and pencils, turning what we see, hear and feel into lines, marks and shapes. The focus is on curiosity and enjoying your own perception, with no pressure to produce a perfect drawing.

Step by step

What to expect

  1. Arrive and make your first marks

    We get to know the materials and begin with small drawing experiments. You set your own pace; I draw alongside you and offer prompts.

  2. Notice what is around you

    At several stops we explore lines, textures, light and shadow. Observations and sensory impressions become marks of your own.

  3. Change your perspective

    How does a drawing change when you look differently or exchange ideas with someone? Small shifts in perspective open up new possibilities.

  4. Find your own approach

    Finish by freely exploring a double-page spread. You can share your impressions with the group if you wish. Your sketchbook and pencils go home with you.

Mindfulness starts with paying attention

What do I notice? What do I notice through you? What changes when I change my point of view? These questions guide us. Short pauses and open drawing prompts invite you to discover the surroundings in your own way. No drawing experience is needed.

Materials to keep exploring

The price includes a 14 × 14 cm sketchbook and three artists’ pencils. The set is yours to keep, so you can carry on drawing after the workshop. Please wear weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes.

Outdoors in a small group

The date, meeting point and exact route are still being arranged. I will share the route and local conditions before any binding booking. In heavy rain, an alternative date is planned. Please get in touch with any questions about mobility or taking part.
