“An Online Course unlike any other!”



Learn urban sketching with this unique online course, developed with renowned urban sketcher and tutor, Ian Fennelly! It will take you to Bavaria where you join a group of 12 other students and learn along with them!

The course is filmed on location in Bavaria / Germany! It's called “Every building tells a Story” and takes you step-by-step from blank page to finished artwork. The video tutorials are suitable for beginners through to advanced level and are packed with bonus material and live critique sessions for students on location! So you will sketch with a group of friends but learn at your own pace! 

What do I learn?

  1. You are getting 3 hrs of life video Material which enables you to follow Ians sketching process step by step at your own pace, on location in Nuremberg / Bavaria. Ian will explain his sketching process in every detail necessary suitable for beginners as well as runaways.
     
  2. During the entire Workshop you can observe other students creating their pieces and follow Ians critique sessions with them. Thus you will benefit from their learnings as well!
     
  3. As the course was filmed live ‘on location’ in Bavaria rather than in a studio you will learn how to work outdoors, how to find and frame ‘your’ motive in the often confusing environment of a busy town. And also you’ll get a snapshot of beautiful Nuremberg, Bavaria’s second biggest town.
