Urban Sketching & Expressive Line Art — Learn to Draw Anywhere
Van 28.41 € /h
Do you want to capture the world around you with just a pen and a sketchbook — anytime, anywhere?
This class is all about urban sketching, expressive linework, and the art of seeing.
Sketching is the most portable and intimate form of drawing. You don’t need fancy tools — a simple pen, a pocket-sized notebook, even an eyeliner can become the starting point of your next artwork.
In this course, you will learn:
✨ Foundation techniques of pen sketching, line weight, shading, composition
✨ How to draw quickly and confidently from life
✨ The elegance of Chinese line art (“白描baimiao”): clarity, rhythm, and spirit
✨ How to develop your own style through bold experimentation
✨ How to capture the soul of a moment — people, pets, architecture, landscapes
We will explore Copenhagen together and discover sketching spots:
the peaceful fields, the modern skyline, hidden cafés, cozy streets, and everything in between. Every corner of this city has a story waiting to be drawn.
More importantly, you will learn how sketching becomes a part of everyday life:
🍺 A bar sketch that earns you a free drink
🐾 A quick drawing of your cat or dog while they nap
🧡 A portrait sketch that becomes a charming conversation starter
🎁 A handmade gift far more personal than anything you can buy
Sketching is not just a skill — it’s a lifestyle, a gentle way of observing the world and leaving a trace of beauty wherever you go.
Whether you’re a beginner or simply eager to draw more freely, this class welcomes you.

Over
Hi! I’m Lu, an artist and creative nomad currently based in Copenhagen.
I started drawing as a child and never really stopped. Over the years, I’ve studied game design, digital media technology, and human-centered AI—but sketching and creating with my hands has always been my way of understanding the world.
I’ve traveled and volunteered across Europe, often exchanging my art for food and stories. In France, I learned traditional wood carving from a sculptor. In Turkey, I painted large-scale murals using wall paint in a farm. In Denmark, I carry my sketchbook everywhere—cafés, rooftops, forests—capturing everyday beauty in pen or pencil. I’ve also trained in classical sketching, water-based gouache, oil painting, and even practiced some anime-inspired styles just for fun.
For me, all you need is a pen, a piece of paper, and a curious eye. I’m not a formal “teacher,” but I love sharing what I’ve learned—especially ways to loosen up, notice more, and sketch what you feel, not just what you see.
I can teach pen techniques, expressive line work, touches of Chinese baimiao minimalism, and mixed approaches from different media. Whether you’re a beginner or just looking to fall in love with drawing again, let’s explore together.
