Sketchbook | There is everywhere something to discover

If you like to sketch on the go and like to do so in company, you can contact us, whether a joint drawing can be reconciled. We also recommend "Urban Sketchers", a loose connection of drawers of every ability that meet in many cities around the world. There are many local groups that are usually also represented online. You contact them on your own responsibility.
They have a "manifesto" that speaks to us from the heart and after which we already worked, when we knew nothing of the Urban Sketchers yet:
- We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation.
- Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel.
- Our drawings are a record of time and place.
- We are truthful to the scenes we witness.
- We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles.
- We support each other and draw together.
- We share our drawings online.
- We show the world, one drawing at a time.
Workshops | Drawing and painting together
It is lovely to draw and paint together with others. Sonja is teaching painting and drawing for many years. She has developed some approaches that will encourage you to paint and draw with fun although you haven't done it for a long time.
Not all workshops are shown here on the website. You can also subscribe to the Workshop newsletter, where short-term dates will be announced.
It is also possible to arrange individual workshops. If you are interested in a workshop exclusively for yourself and your family or friends, please feel free to ask for more information.
What do we do in the workshops?
The workshops are different. They are described in the announcements. Sonja would rather describe the workshops as inspiring meetings. Her favourite topics are:
- Draw and paint in pairs on an image. See with four eyes, paint with four hands.
- Drawing invisible. We outwit our concerns about the white sheet of paper and our self-proclaimed inability. Or we might see and work anew and fresh again. Finally color makes the drawing visible.
- Point and Stroke, the basic elements of drawing.
- Together on-site painting and drawing. Together we see more, we experience more and multiply memories that connect us.
For whom are the workshops?
- You don't draw and paint, but you're curious to try.
- During a trip with friends or family you want to keep and share memories on paper.
- Paint together with friends or family if you'd like to give away personal pictures or cards.
- You like to draw and paint but would like work on the basics and share experiences.
