Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
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.

Itinerary
1
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.

Repetition and pattern
Circular composition
Motion without chaos
Reflection as distortion
30 minutes

Brooklyn Heights Promenade
