A course by Jenny Adam
Jenny Adam comes from a family of artists and has been painting and drawing since she can remember. After finishing her studies, she threw herself into product design and, in 2018, won the iF DESIGN AWARD for her work. She started urban sketching as a hobby, but quickly perfected her skills in the technique. Later, she began teaching drawing classes and workshops, as well as organizing exhibitions, which led her to receive more and more illustration commissions. Jenny regularly participates in urban sketching events and is co-founder of an association of urban sketchers, which celebrated their first meeting in Germany in 2015.
For her, urban drawing is a form of visual expression that allows her to simultaneously draw inspiration from her surroundings. Her artistic influences include German painter Käthe Kollwitz, American painter Elizabeth Peyton, illustrator Benoît Guillaume, and painter Fairfield Porter. Jenny works primarily as an illustrator for her newspaper and magazine clients. From her studio in Hamburg, she creates work for clients from all over Europe. She has also collaborated with mejor companies like Lufthansa, the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Der Spiegel, and Alnatura, among others.
