In this one day Introduction to Urban Sketching course, artist and tutor 
Lancelot Richardson
 will give an overview to sketching and drawing on location around the bustling streets of Brighton. If you would like to start sketching out and about, but you’re not quite know how to get started, or you’re looking for advice on how to improve your on-location drawings then this session is for you. Lance will introduce a variety of materials, show you the best set up for drawing on location and lead you on a sketching trip around town.
What to Expect
Starting at the Draw studio, we’ll begin with a series of practical, studio-based exercises before heading out to draw on location, looking at approaches for drawing figures, spaces and buildings and recording some of the character of Brighton. All levels of experience are welcome and all materials for this session will be provided. If you'd like more details about the workshop, please get in touch on

. These sessions feed into our free, monthly Urban Sketching Club which is a wonderful opportunity to explore Brighton with a friendly group of fellow sketchers.
What to Bring
All materials are included with this workshop. You may wish to bring a sketchbook for taking notes and a plastic folder for taking home your drawings.

It is worth a visit. The palace is very luxurious and exquisite not only at that time but also now. The Chinese elements are very shocking. Among the many castles and palaces in Europe, the Chinese elements are the main ones. You can also see the wallpaper, furniture and porcelain customized in Guangzhou, China at that time.

One of the best piers in the South of England. There is lots to do with tons of seaside rides, fun arcade games and food. Highly recommend catching the sunset here and if you&rsquo;re lucky you might catch the starlings dancing at dusk, I didn&rsquo;t know they do this and it was the most spectacular striking and stunning natural phenomenon I had seen, it was mesmerising. Highest chances of seeing the starlings dance is between November-March, we visited in early March
