In a three-part series of courses, artist Volker Krieger teaches the basics of naturalistic drawing and introduces the world of urban sketching step by step. The courses are aimed at beginners as well as those with some drawing experience. The course series can be booked as a single course (€184) or as individual courses (€72 each).
The first course block (18-19.06.2026) focuses on basic techniques in the studio: recognizing proportions, perspective and the representation of light, shadow and spatial effects. The aim is to build confidence in drawing and develop a better understanding of shapes and structures.
The second course block (25.-26.06.2026) takes the group out into the countryside. Architecture, plants and details will be sketched and drawn directly on site around the BALOU. The previously learned basics will be applied in practice.
In the third course block (02.-03.07.2026), the focus will finally be on the public space of Dortmund-Brackel. The participants will develop their own views of the city and individual sketches of the immediate surroundings. The group always stays together within sight of each other.
The courses build on each other, but can also be attended individually. It is recommended that you bring a folding stool or tripod for the outdoor sessions.
