Free drawing lessons, step by step

A simple facade with a window: from the first lines to a light watercolor wash. You don’t need to know how to draw, only to sit down and look.

A quick street sketch against the clock. It teaches you to see the main thing and not get stuck on details.

Five places in a week: draw them, publish them on the map and put them together into your own route. That’s how your personal atlas and your first trail appear, one you can walk your friends along.

One arched window with shutters and a flower box, from the first outline to the shadow on the wall. Windows are on every street, and once you can draw one, you understand how a whole wall is built.

Brick walls, tiles, roofs and fences look scary because they have hundreds of parts. The trick: don’t draw the whole surface, draw a patch and let it fade out toward the edges. Six samples on one page, and you will spot them on any street.
