Autumn term · Lisbon · from 4 October

Draw the city
standing up.

Kerbside is a sketching school with no classroom. Saturday mornings and weekday dusks on the steep streets of Lisbon — one pen, one small book, one corner at a time. No ruler, no eraser, no apologies.

Courses · Autumn 2026

Three ways onto the street.

Every course meets outside, carries its own stool and finishes at a café table where we lay the books out and look.

01Fineliner

Line & Kerb

4 Saturdays · 09:30–12:30

One fineliner and a pocket book. We draw what is in front of us — doorways, café chairs, the 28 tram — and learn to trust the first line.

02Waterbrush

Wash at Dusk

3 evenings · 18:00–20:30

Watercolour over ink while the light turns. Three pigments, one waterbrush, and the miradouros when the tiles go pink.

03Graphite

Perspective, No Ruler

1 Sunday intensive · 10:00–17:00

Vanishing points found by eye on the steep streets of Alfama. You leave able to draw a staircase that does not fall over.

Free walks · October

Bring a pen. We bring the stools.

Once a week we meet somewhere with a good view and draw for ninety minutes. Free, no sign-up, ends with a bica.
