Urban Sketching - Saturday Series
Discover the art of urban sketching in this immersive 6-week Saturday series led by teaching artist Ann Alexander at Vision Arts Gallery in Myrtle Beach.
This beginner-friendly yet skill-building class introduces students to expressive line work, basic perspective, and watercolor techniques while capturing everyday scenes. Students will progress from photo-based sketches to confident on-location drawing, developing a loose, personal sketching style that blends observation with creative expression.
Each week builds upon the last—starting with foundational line and shape, adding watercolor washes, and moving into speed sketching and real-world environments. Indoor studio sessions transition into outdoor and on-location sketching, helping students gain confidence, flexibility, and creative flow.
By the end of the course, students will have a collection of sketches, a deeper understanding of line-and-wash techniques, and the confidence to sketch anywhere—from cafés and city streets to travel adventures and daily life.
All experience levels are welcome. Come ready to explore, observe, and sketch with joy.
Saturdays: 11am-2pm
Dates: January 10-February 14, 2026

🎨 Creative Palette Paint Night at Swig & Swine
This special Creative Palette Paint Night at Swig & Swine features a winter favorite—“Starry Night Christmas Truck.”
Your canvas will come alive with swirling midnight skies of deep blues and greens inspired by Van Gogh’s Starry Night. Beneath the glowing stars, a bright red vintage truck carries home a snow-dusted Christmas tree, framed by luminous evergreens sparkling under the winter moon. It’s festive, nostalgic, and full of holiday cheer—a perfect piece to display or gift!
No experience needed—just bring your friends, enjoy your favorite beverage, and bring your appetite with Swig & Swine’s mouthwatering BBQ. We’ll provide everything else: paints, brushes, canvas, and step-by-step guidance to help you create your masterpiece.
Come for the art, stay for the laughter, and leave with memories (and a painting) that’ll warm your heart all season long!
