Sketch the Sydney Harbour with an art professor

Sketching is a wonderful way to capture the essence of what you see in your travels. I have recorded my travels in sketchbooks for over 30 years, and I'd love to teach you how to do the same. Artists of all levels of experience, including beginners, are welcome! • We'll meet at Hickson Road Reserve Park, and I'll hand out sketch paper and pencils. • I'll teach you some essential drawing techniques, and then we'll begin sketching! I’ll assist with tips and guidance as you create your Sydney travel sketch. • You'll have a great view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the ferries, and the Opera House. We'll walk to a second viewing spot in order to capture final touches. You'll gain new drawing skills and confidence, and take home a sketch as a memento of your time in Sydney.

Street art walk through Sydney's Inner West

The diverse, bohemian neighbourhood of Newtown has become a destination for graffiti artists and lovers of street art. Join a street art expert for a walk through the district, discovering some of its most original works. • Meet up at Newtown Station, where I’ll start by sharing the history of the area and the evolution of murals, from illegal to internationally recognised. • I’ll guide you through hidden alleys to the 19th-century Newtown Courthouse, featured in the Coldplay music video for “A Sky Full of Stars.” • Visit some of the most iconic murals in Newtown, where I’ll share the stories behind the art. You’ll have a chance to pop into a bakery for a lamington or grab a drink at a hidden laneway bar. (The cost of refreshments is not included.) You’ll leave having visited colourful corners of Newtown that no guidebook will ever mention, and with an insider’s perspective on this area’s vibrant art scene.
