Introduction to sketching
A full or half day to learn to draw on location, in a small group: a birthday, a day out with friends, a team. On the banks of the Sarine, in town or on a hike.

Sketching & sketchbooks
Drawing wherever you happen to be: a street in Fribourg, the banks of the Sarine, a village on Lake Como, a chalet on a hike.
How I draw
Capturing the atmosphere on the spot
I start the drawing right there on the spot, to capture the atmosphere, the shapes and the details of the place at the very moment I observe them. Drawing on location keeps a spontaneous, personal record of the experience.
Once home, I take the time to finish the page with more patience and precision.
From life
The sketchbook facing the landscape
The drawing and what it’s looking at, side by side: I settle in, I observe, and the page comes together on the spot.
Sketchbooks
Sketchbook pages
Fribourg, Gruyère, Italy, Germany and the roads that connect them.
Drawing together
Sketching with Fribourg Tourisme
In partnership with Fribourg Tourisme, I offer sketching sessions to discover a place in a different way, taking the time to look at it and draw it.
What participants say
“A really calm and soothing time, in a beautiful place. Loved it – must do it again!”
