Sketch the City Walking Tours

In this walking tour you’ll rediscover Melbourne’s city centre while learning how to sketch from scratch.

Urban sketching is creating quick sketches while on location. It’s about the essence of the moment and the fun of the process. These sketches fill notebooks, along with comments and thoughts about the places visited, and can become a beautiful memory log of our trips.

Your host, Holly Cochrane, shows you how to get started, then you’ll get lots of tips and tricks to make your sketches come to life.

Sketching or drawing can be very beneficial for your mental health as a way of de-stressing. It's very useful to transfer thoughts and emotions onto paper and to explain concepts visually.
