Guided Urban Sketching Walks in Toowoomba
No experience necessary!
Get curious and see the world through the eyes of an artist
Coffee first.
Believe everyone is creative. We believe sketching is a gift, not a talent. We believe that when you slow down and really look at the world around you, something shifts.
Then we sketch.
We walk, we look, we draw. Heritage buildings, laneways, gardens, murals. Toowoomba has extraordinary material on every corner.
You’ll surprise yourself.
Your Sketch Host will look after you from the first mark to the last page. No pressure. Only encouragement.

Every session is special
Let a local show you around
Every sketch walk is a unique experience. As locals, we know the best spots - from hidden laneways and grand heritage facades to the quiet beauty of Toowoomba's famous parks and gardens.
Rather than offering fixed routes, we plan each session around the weather, local events, and the best light of the day to ensure you get the most inspiring location possible. There's always a reason to come back and see the region through fresh eyes.
"I hadn't picked up a pencil to draw in 20 years. Anna made me feel like I was born to sketch. I left with a sketchbook I actually want to fill."

“It's the highlight of our Toowoomba weekend. The walk, the coffee, the sketching - it was slow and beautiful. Our sketchbook is our favourite souvenir.”

“I see my own neighbourhood completely differently now. Sketching has become a meditation that I love to do, and I’ve nearly finished my first sketchbook! It feels fantastic!”
