Drawing sharpens your observation skills and reveals new details of the city through pen and paper. This drawing walk is not a traditional workshop. Instead of creating realistic depictions of landmarks, you will make quick, playful sketches accompanied by stories about the neighborhood. The emphasis is on your personal interpretation rather than producing accurate representations of Berlin.
