What to expect
A tutor will introduce basic mark-making and perspective techniques before guiding you through sketching Rome's famous sights. You'll work at your own pace, with encouragement to experiment with different pencils and colours. The session balances instruction with creative freedom—you're not aiming for photorealism, but rather capturing what catches your eye about each scene. By the end, you'll have several usable postcards and a simple toolkit to sketch independently during the rest of your travels.
