Description
You do not need to be an artist to join this tour! :) You only need to have wide eyes and an open heart. This tour is for people who love to wander, to people-watch, slow down, and notice the city. Together, we’ll make time for looking deeply instead of moving quickly, allowing space for serendipity within New York’s fast-paced, bustling rhythm. We’ll begin with a few quick sketches to loosen the hand and ground ourselves in the neighborhood, paired with short stories about the streets and spaces we’re moving through. From there, we’ll travel in gentle 30-minute intervals to a series of pre-selected spots around Brooklyn Bridge Park. Along the way, you’ll discover my favorite corners of the area alongside a small group of curious, creative people. You’ll hear stories, share observations, and experience the city. Whether you’re visiting New York for the first time or seeing it anew, this walk is designed to slow you down and help you begin your time in the city with intention.

Tour Options
Itinerary
Jane's Carousel
From the outside, you can sketch the carousel as an object—perfect circles, strong verticals, mirrored surfaces. From the inside, it becomes something else entirely: a study in rhythm, rotation, and time. Children blur into streaks of color. Adults stand still at the edges, watching. The carousel becomes the calm center, and the city moves around it. For sketching, Jane’s Carousel offers endless entry points: Repetition and pattern Circular composition Motion without chaos Reflection as distortion
Brooklyn Heights Promenade
One of my favorite views of the Manhattan skyline, Statue of Liberty, and bridges — one of the most photogenic and sketchable spots in all of NYC.
