3-Day Sketching Experience in Florence 

Pen & Watercolor Drawing Course 

Turn your journey into a hand-drawn visual diary of Florence. 

This is a relaxed 3-day sketching experience in Florence focused on drawing, walking, and observing the city through pen and watercolor. Each day takes place in selected outdoor locations around Florence, combining guided sketching with time to draw, explore, and slow down at your own pace.  Rather than a traditional course, this is an immersive creative travel experience where the city becomes your studio and your sketchbook becomes a personal visual record of your time in Florence.  The experience is designed for beginners and intermediate levels and is open to small groups or individual participants. 

Language: English (Italian can be used when helpful) 

Group Size: Small group experience (3–6 participants) 

Materials : Basic sketching materials (paper, pencils, pens, and watercolor set) can be provided for participants who do not bring their own.
