Meet Richard Briggs, one of our instructors at the Urban Sketchers Symposium in Toulouse, France, on July 15-18, 2026! #USkToulouse2026
Urban Sketchers Workshop WS05
Unfolding visions: a simple approach to drawing narrow streets
In this workshop we will look at creating a series of line based sketches of unfolding visions that describe changing views as you move through the narrow streets of Toulouse. We will focus on a particular street and learn how to use a simple approach to one point perspective. These sketches will bind together architectural elements using the continuous line technique as a basis, creating playful and focused compositions that define the urban spaces found in Toulouse’s old city.
Demo/Activity DEM05
Urban Sketching With Masking Tape
The demo will focus on an urban sketching technique that uses masking tape to create street scenes. It’s a totally inclusive demo, with each participant having the opportunity to participate in the creation of a large format tape drawing. Due to nature of the tape medium, it will encourage each participant to think of lines and shapes in a very simple way.
The Urban Sketchers Symposium is in Toulouse, France, on July 15-18, 2026.
The Urban Sketchers International Symposium is an annual educational event organized by Urban Sketchers (USk), a nonprofit dedicated to fostering the practice of on-location observational sketching. urbansketchers.org
It brings together sketchers of all levels for four days of valuable field-sketching instruction, inspiration, and opportunities for participants to meet new friends.
