Great class to make art and sketching more accessible and fun while experiences the art scene in Valpraiso - Jamie created a wonderful class for our kids (ages 6, 8 and 10) to help them learn urban sketching. He prepared all the lessons and materials so it was guided and got harder as the class went on. He was flexible to their interests and very patient and you could tell he loved sharing his love for art with us. For example, he prepared some worksheets with dots to help guide their drawings of actual scenery they were looking at (Eg a building, church, viewpoint, etc). The kids got their own sketchbooks and worksheets which also was fun for them. It was an incredible way to take in the beauty and vibe of the art scene in Valpraiso, and make it accessible for kids. It definitely helped spark an artistic passion for them. We loved how hands on it was . I would recommend Jamie’s class!

A gem of an experience - I had an amazing time on Jaime's sketching tour and learnt so much. Within a couple hours I gained an understanding of perspective, focus, framing and a bit of history of Chile and Valparaiso along the way. I would 100% recommend the experience to anyone wanting a different memory of this beautiful city whose heart is in the arts :) Thank you Jaime for lessons I'll forever carry with me!
