A bit about me...
I’m Jason Nicholas—an architect, artist, and teacher who’s passionate about helping others discover the joy of sketching architecture. My approach is all about capturing the character and personality of buildings through loose, expressive lines that tell a story. Over the years, I’ve developed a style that’s quick, playful, and full of energy—perfect for anyone looking to embrace imperfection and build confidence in their sketches. Whether I’m teaching workshops, creating videos, or sketching on location, my goal is to inspire others to see the world differently, connect with their surroundings, and let their creativity flow freely. Let’s sketch the world together, one line at a time!
