Japanese Landscape Drawing Workshop

Join us for a relaxing and inspiring Japanese Landscape Sketching Workshop with artist André Rios, dedicated to capturing the peaceful beauty and timeless charm of the Japanese countryside.

From traditional wooden houses and quiet village streets to mountain scenery and lush natural surroundings, the Japanese countryside offers endless inspiration for artists. Its harmonious relationship between architecture and nature creates picturesque scenes filled with character, atmosphere and delicate details.

During this workshop, André will guide you step by step through the process of sketching a traditional Japanese countryside landscape using graphite pencils, fineliners and markers. You will learn how to simplify complex scenery into expressive compositions, develop perspective and depth, and use confident lines and selective shading to capture the character of the landscape.

Throughout the workshop, André will share practical sketching techniques and professional tips to help you develop your observational skills, explore different line qualities and create an expressive, illustrative drawing with a natural hand-drawn feeling.
