Learn to take inspiration from the world around you and see your local area with new eyes. Oxford is one of the most beautiful areas in the country where we are blessed to be surrounded by architectural and natural beauty.

For Beginners: We have a 7-week course structured so you first learn a technique at the studio, then practise on location in beautiful Oxford. You will learn everything from Ink & wash, to composition and the etiquette of drawing strangers.

For Improvers: For people who have done this before or may have been sketching for a while - we have the option for you to join us for 3 Urban Sketching Outings in Oxford. Practise your skills among supportive peers, with the guidance of an expert artist-tutor to address your art pain-points with tips and tricks.

We will be visiting Oxford City, the River and the Covered Market.

You will also get access to a free online course available to you for life!
