Intensive Travel Sketching Workshop in Copenhaguen

From 28 to 31 August 2025

Our Travel Sketching Workshop in Copenhaguen will allow us to discover the city with a creative and personal approch through drawing.

Copenhagen is one of the most modern and pleasant cities to live in. In addition to offering the traveler tradition and modernity, Copenhagen offers a rich range of buildings and subjects to draw. The royal palaces, the sailboats moored by the docks and its canals lined by rows of multicolored houses make a walk through its streets make us feel for a moment in a fairy tale. And an inexhaustible source of themes to illustrate our trip in Copenhagen.

This workshop in Copenhaguen is open to people wishing to learn or improve their drawing skills in Urban Sketching.
During 4 days you will learn to develop your sense of observation to depict a bit of everything that surrounds you in your sketchbook: buildings and emblematic elements of Copenhaguen, characters, street scenes, arquitectural details…

We will remind in a playful way some fondamentals of drawing, such as perspective and composition, and we will learn to forget them from time to time to play with the spontaneity of our lines.

Observation, experimentation and letting go will be emphasized.
This course will help you acquire the confidence and ease which are necessary to progress.

How the workshop is planned

I have planned the workshop so that all the participants can manage their budget as they wish, choosing the mode of transport or accommodation that best suits them.

We recommand that the participants arrive the day before the date of the workshop, in order to be at 10h at the meeting point the first day.

Every day we will meet at 10am in a different place of the city. We will draw outside all day long if the weather is ok. We will get inspired by different themes: buildings, people, a street atmosphere, details…).

We will have lunch together the first day of the workshop to get to know each other better, and the other days, each one is free to eat alone or with other participants.
