Think of this online workshop as your creative playground, designed for beginner and intermediate artists who are captivated by the beauty of architecture like St. Patrick's Cathedral. It’s your chance to play, experiment, and let your inner artist explore the lines and geometry of neo-classical architecture.

Maybe you've thought that you can't sketch architecture - it's too complicated.
Or maybe you feel that your sketches are too tight and you want to be more loose.
Either way, this workshop will help to explore a new LOOSE sketching style to capture architecture.
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!



You’ll leave with newfound confidence, a playful method to make drawing approachable, and a love for imperfection that lets your unique style shine.
Best of all, you’ll join a supportive, judgment-free community of creatives ready to celebrate every squiggly line.
Let’s bring your sketches to life with curiosity, wonder, and play!

Immediately, if you find yourself in Jason’s workshop, you’ll realize his passion to sketch. Moreover, his true inner talent is to create a blueprint for you to grasp the essence of simple art and the exciting journey he takes to fulfill your dream of becoming a wonderful sketch artist.

This Workshop is the Ultimate creative sandbox for playing around with loose style sketching.

Absolutely. If you can scribble and draw wonky lines, you can sketch along in the workshop. This workshop is not about creating precise and perfect lines.
Nope. You can sketch in any style you like. I will be sharing my loose style and you are welcome to follow along. Just do you!
Yes. The workshop will be recorded and the recording will be available for a limited time afterwards.
No. A pen or pencil and some paper is all you really need. However, I will be adding color to my sketches with ink, watercolor, and color pencil.
