Create your own sketchbook journal while visiting Rome! It's not only a unique experience but one that you will cherish and remember always. And no experience necessary!
You will join other travelers, locals, families, and other like-minded folks on this 2.5-hour sketching tour. This is our general tour, perfect for solo travelers and small groups, or anyone happy being together with others.
When you sit and observe a place while recording your own personal memories of that day, these memories will be more vivid than any photograph of your trip.
It’s simple and relaxed, we’re in no rush, and we’re out to enjoy our time together. I find that every single time, people are impressed by the beautiful, expressive sketches they create.
How it works
I prepare a sketch kit for you, so you don't need to bring anything. We work together step-by-step around several locations, sketching in pencil and pen, finishing with watercolor. Your sketchbook is yours to keep, fill up, and use during your travels.
You will be led through simple exercises exploring different ways to use each of the materials provided for you, one at a time. This methodical approach not only keeps it simple but also allows you to find which expression works best for you or is most appropriate for the subject you have chosen to sketch.
It’s fun, and you always have the choice to share with the group or not. Everyone is encouraged and is provided with the right balance between structure and freedom to sketch and experiment in each medium after the initial exercises and instruction.
We provide you with a handmade sketchbook that you keep. You can either purchase a sketch kit to keep or use the materials we provide and return them at the end.
The sketch kit includes:
- Handmade sketchbook
- Waterproof drawing pen
- Pencil (NO eraser!)
- Pencil Sharpener
- Waterbrush
- Travel Watercolor Kit
- Bag to hold it all
- Folding stool for sitting
