Events

Sketching is the perfect antidote to the always on, digital-first lives that we lead. Phil’s workshops are open to sketchers of all abilities from beginners to more experienced artists and will give participants the opportunity to get one on one tuition in a relaxed and informal environment. Sketch workshops can be arranged for groups up to 25, depending upon location and requirements.


Phil believes that sketching is active mindfulness, about being in the moment, doing one thing consciously and being very much in the present. It’s been scientifically proven that when drawing, it’s very difficult for the brain to do anything else other than draw and focus on the interpretation of what is seen, translating it onto paper via pen.
