What to expect

Meet your guide in the city centre and move between 4–5 significant landmarks, stopping for 20–30 minutes at each. You'll set up your paper and materials on a bench or standing spot whilst the guide points out compositional angles and details. Between sketching sessions, you'll hear stories about the buildings, their history, and the area around them. The pace is deliberately slow—this isn't sightseeing with a pencil, but rather an excuse to sit still, observe, and create something you'll take home. Bring a water bottle; Rome's heat can catch you unawares.
