Make it Happen

Loose Line Urban Sketching

For ages 14 and up. Join Sumera Khan in the Gather Space for an interactive workshop on the art of loose line sketching.

Let go of perfection and discover the joy of loose urban sketching. In this relaxed workshop, we’ll explore playful exercises designed to loosen your hand and quiet your inner critic. You’ll experiment with gesture, movement, and expressive mark-making, learning to capture the essence of a subject rather than every detail. Let’s play. 

Sumera Khan is a modern impressionist oil painter, urban sketcher, and arts educator based in Katarokwi/Kingston. As a BIPOC artist and caregiver to individuals with invisible disabilities, her work and community practice are rooted in accessibility, inclusion, and connection through the arts. She is a Board Director at Union Gallery, a Development Council member at Modern Fuel, and the founder of the Urban Sketchers Hub, a group that gathers regularly to sketch around Kingston. Sumera works from the Tett Centre’s Creativity Studio Space and has received multiple Ontario Arts Council grants, including a CKAF grant in 2025.

Make It Happen is a bi-weekly program that brings community experts into the Library to teach useful hands-on skills. No previous experience necessary.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Kingston Frontenac Public Library.
