Welcome to the course week Urban Sketching! I am Jaap and I am an artist who focuses on capturing the world around us in my sketchbook, drawings and painting.

This year I am organizing a course week in the beautiful region of Haute-Loire. We will hike together through this breathtaking nature, taking us through mountains, valleys, forests and small villages. It is the perfect setting for hikers and to unleash our creativity and be inspired by the beauty of the natural environment.

During this course week we will explore the basics of, light and dark, use of color and composition. I will teach you how to capture key features of the landscape.

I will guide you in developing your own style and techniques as we take inspiration from the landdscape, villages and our own creativity. I look forward to exploring this beautiful area with you and capturing it in our sketchbooks.

Urban Sketching course weeks are in June and September.
