I love to draw and paint, move and explore. i teach creative classes with adults and work as a coach. Drawing, painting and sewing for me are ways to explore both the outer and inner worlds, to deeply connect with life, to sharpen my awareness and to celebrate my playfulness. I am an urban sketcher in bern, switzerland.

about my classes:

at the moment, all my skillshare classes are about urban sketching. since 10 years ago, i teach many urban sketching classes on location, and every one is different, as i adapt them to the participants. there are some main topics that are important again and again, and some topics are fascinating just once in a while. most classes here are the essence of my on location classes in and around bern.

the most important ability in sketching from observation is to see, what is really visible in front of the eyes. so i highly recommend beginning with "warming up exercises for urban sketching" or "aufwarmubungen furs zeichnen nach beobachtung"

"architecture made easy" is another all-time-classic. (some day i will update it, because i can and want to make better videos and sound now.)

"sketching flowers on the go - blumen unterwegs skizzieren", "sketching mountains on the way" and nature journaling are my next projects.

about the music:

mostly i leave it with voice and nature. sometimes i have added royalty free music (under a creative commons license) from kevin macleod from his great website www.incompetech.com. when i own extended lifelong licenses of the pieces i use, i sometimes just mentioned his name in the video. otherwise, i mention it according to the standard licence. if you want to listen to or support the artist as well: here are the informations:
