Presson Gallery – Downtown Monroe, North Carolina
$40 per adult, with children eligible for a $25 discounted rate when registered with an adult.
Join artist Wil Bosbyshell for a guided sketching experience through downtown Monroe. You’ll explore architecture, streetscapes, and everyday moments while learning how to quickly capture scenes on paper using simple, approachable techniques.
This workshop is designed for everyone—from complete beginners to experienced sketchers. No prior drawing experience is required. Come curious, relaxed, and ready to enjoy the process.
Each participant will receive a small sketchbook to keep, along with colored pencils to use during the workshop. You’ll leave with finished sketches and the confidence to continue urban sketching on your own.
Spend a relaxed Saturday morning walking, sketching, and connecting with fellow creatives while experiencing downtown Monroe from a fresh artistic perspective.
**To reserve a child spot at the discounted rate, please contact Presson Gallery directly by phone, message, or email. Payment for both parent and child tickets may be made at the time of the workshop.
All materials are provided, including a sketchbook to take home. Participants are welcome to bring their own supplies if preferred. Comfortable walking clothing, water, and a small portable chair are recommended.
