What students are saying

Feedback like this makes my heart grow faster than any flower could 😍

This was a short, but excellent class! I love Peggy’s vibrancy and how she made perspective simple. This is something I struggle with as a beginner to urban type sketching. She taught me to stop overthinking—and overworking—my sketches.

Carol D

So much fun! This class really helped me realize that I tend to worry a bit too much about getting things "perfect", and I really shouldn't. Being creative should be fun, not stressful.

I loved this class and feel so energized!

Traci B

I didn't think that I could learn a lot in 42 minutes, but I enjoyed this class so much!

It was so well explained!

Magda

Peggy’s enthusiasm is so contagious that just following the course made me happy. Sketching is not photography will be my new mantra. Imperfection makes art interesting and although one can always make a prettier imperfection, her class helped me to just sketch and enjoy.

I just got into art within the last few years and I have only recently got into Urban Sketching. I have watched thousands of tutorial videos, literally.....thousand on every medium. Out of all of the tutorials I've watched with all different instructors with all different styles, you are hands down the BEST I've ever seen in terms of explaining what you're doing and the way you go about teaching.

John D

This is an absolutely fantastic sketching course. You made the whole process very easy, not intimidating at all and more importantly, showed how to have fun while sketching. Thank you very much!

Lakshmi K

Excellent tutorial and very engaging instructor! I feel like I've learned so much about sketching in just this one class. Thank you!

Carolyn D

This is my first attempt at urban sketching and I am so happy with the result! It felt free and loose and lovely

Kirsty B

I really loved the experience of sketching the reference. "Embracing my Mistakes" part has always been hard for me, but this made me realize that they add character and flavour to the sketch. Thanks again!

Anees R

Any class by Peggy Dean is a winner. She is capable of leaving you with a great deal of information without leaving you feeling overwhelmed.

Emma R

I really enjoyed this class! Peggy included some insights that I feel other artists skip over.

Peggy definitely boosted my confidence; as she emphasizes there is no "wrong" way to create, only personal preference. :)

Hayley R

It took me a ton of searching to find this class, but I'm so glad I did. I wanted to learn 'line drawing' but most of the classes are about "one line drawing" not just "line drawing" - now that I have been able to go through this course, I'm looking forward to practicing and trying new things.

Bill Q

I’m Peggy, and creatives like you are exactly who I design classes for.

When I first wanted to develop a practice of making art, I quickly discovered that it certainly wasn’t without its challenges, and the journey to find an approach I’d be consistently happy with took a bit of time.

When I began infusing these practices into my own journey, I found that at the end of my creative sessions, I was more proud of what I'd done and especially more connected to my pieces.

I'm thrilled to share these wins with you, so you can experience them too!

IMO...

This isn’t just about drawing buildings—it’s about capturing the soul of the places you love. You’ll find joy in the process as you see your sketches evolve from simple lines to rich, detailed scenes.

I’m thrilled to guide you through this creative adventure. You’ll discover techniques that make sketching easier and more fun than ever. Plus, the skills you gain will open up a whole new world of artistic possibilities.

Yep, in only 40 minutes.
