Drawing in my Sketchbook on the site of the Chateau Villarlong, Carcassonne, France. The castle dates back to 1100 -1200. I have included a picture of the Chateau, taken while sitting in front of it. A very lovely and peaceful place to stay.
Welcome to Urban Sketching! My classes at the Hub started on September 18th and will continue 1 to 4 pm Wednesdays through November 13th. I’m teaching the basics of urban sketching: perspective, measuring, composition, and lines. Soon, we’ll add watercolor to bring our sketches to life!

In early September, I traveled to Italy, France and Spain with my family. While I didn’t have much time to sketch, I took plenty of photos. These will now serve as references for my students.

A quick note about my 2025 Calendar mentioned in last month’s blog: several of you have already placed orders. There is still time to order or pick up at the Hub. Thank you so much for your support… It means a lot.
Thank you for reading! I am adding some photos from the Hub class, reference pictures from my trip, and a sketch done on location in France.
