Explore Brooklyn Heights Through Urban Sketching
About
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.
- Private experience
What to expect
- 1Jane's CarouselFrom 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 30 min Admission not included
- 2Brooklyn Heights PromenadeOne 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. 20 min
