About your Demo Artist
Jens Huebner was born in Germany and studied Industrial design in Berlin, Germany and Calgary, Canada. He founded his own design studio with a friend in Berlin. 10 years later, the design studio was sold and he cycled around the world for 2 years. During that time, Jens started sketching and watercolour painting during his travels. This has led him to become an Urban Sketcher when he moved back to Germany.
Today, Huebner teaches illustration at AIDBerlin (art school in Berlin) in the winter time. When school is out, during the summer, he travels by bike or motorcycle through Europe to teach art workshops. He has taught classes and demos around the world such as in Japan, Korea, China, Sudan, Tansania, South Africa, New Zealand…
Jens Huebner has written several books about Urban sketching, drawing and watercolouring. Some of his books have been translated into Spanish, Portuguese and Russian.
When he is not traveling, he lives with his wife and dog in the countryside in the North of Germany and in Berlin.
