Welcome to this Urban Sketching class, for beginners - using pen and watercolour, ink and wash techniques that are easy to master. Using just four colours, to create a rich and vibrant scene.
If you think urban sketching is complex - then think again!
In this class I'll show you how to tackle urban scenes, starting with this lovely shopfront sketch, in five simple steps, using a really minimalistic set of sketching supplies. The same supplies that I use everyday either at home or out and about to make my urban sketches.
Aims of this class
Everything here is designed to make life easy and confidence boosting, with a series of steps with a clear purpose so you can understand as you sketch why you’re doing it.
Within this class we’ll cover…
- The importance of simplifying through shapes
- Understanding how to spot mistakes, and accept them as a beautiful part of sketching
- How to layer watercolours easily, to create rich vibrant colours
- How to add finishing flourishes like splashes to your sketch
Most of all, I want to show you that urban sketching with pen and watercolour, or ink and wash, is fun, approachable and achievable.
Here is the style that we'll be sketching in today :)
Confidence boosting class!
The best and most common feedback I get is that my classes are confidence boosting, and really help people to free up their sketching. To stop judging mistakes, and start creating and enjoying art.
I absolutely love this feedback, because it is what I think art and creativity should be all about.
So, underpinning all of my lessons is that I want you to leave relaxed, enthusiastic and motivated to get out and sketch.
If you enjoy the class, please let me know by leaving a review – it really means the world to me, and helps spread the word to other people too!
Happy sketching!
