Question 1

What does the class cover?

Accepted Answer

Intro to Urban Sketching covers three key methods you can use to start drawing your best life. We begin with some observational techniques that anyone can learn, even if they're a beginner, and then we develop a repeatable method to start and finish quick sketches on the go.

Question 2

I can hardly draw a stick figure. Is that ok?

Accepted Answer

Totally–you're in the right place! Intro to Urban Sketching is designed to help beginners learn simple methods they can use to draw from life and have fun along the way. More experienced artists will learn ways to level up their craft and take more creative risks.

Question 3

Do I need art materials?

Accepted Answer

Nope–simply come as you are! Sketchbooks and pens will be available for you to use during class, and you're welcome to bring any pages home to share with family and friends.

Question 4

Is there any other essential day-of info should I know?

Accepted Answer

Unless noted, all classes begin at noon under the clock in the main hall of Grand Central Terminal. (Look for someone waving a sketchbook on the side facing the Apple Store.)

Please plan to arrive ~10 minutes early as trains are often delayed.

Materials will be provided, but you're welcome to bring your own.

Class runs for about 90 minutes and operates like a tour, so be prepared to stand and save coffee, tea, and food for later.

Question 5

Do you offer refunds? Can I reschedule?

Accepted Answer

All in-person class sales are final; however, you are welcome to reschedule a session to another Saturday at no extra cost. Please email kevin@kevinzych.com (kevin@kevinzych.com)to arrange.

Question 6

Do you offer private classes?

Accepted Answer

Private group drawing classes are a wonderful way to see NYC landmarks and engage a school class, business team, or community group. To arrange your session, please email kevin@kevinzych.com. (kevin@kevinzych.com.)
