Hello everyone, my name is Toby, know as Toby Urban Sketch on Instagram and YouTube. I'm an urban sketcher, and excited to bring you another urban sketching class, covering more of my favourite techniques, tips and tricks using ink and watercolor!

Have you ever wanted to achieve that loose, expressive and effortless look with your ink and watercolour urban sketches?

If so, then this interactive class, with loads of demos, techniques, and downloadable reference photos might well be for you!

Here's an example of my style:

I’m an ink and watercolour artist, specialising in quick and fun sketches that capture the essence of a scene, using a variety of techniques to ensure my art is loose, quirky and full of character.

I want my scenes to be recognisable and accurate, but I also want to express myself, my mood, or capture how the day felt – rather than be strictly attached to rigid details.

I want to be able to fill up sketchbooks, sketch en plein air or on holiday, either creating travel sketches, or being equally happy at home drawing and painting at my desk.

Most importantly, I want my sketching to be loose, fun and relaxing - really enjoying urban sketching, and getting the most out of my ink and watercolors!

Who is this class for?

I've designed this class to be accessible to everyone, and that's my biggest philosophy in art and urban sketching. The feedback I hear most often about my art and my lessons, is how much fun, and how freeing it can be to loosen up our sketching, and learn to sketch quickly, relax, and splash on some colours in a genuinely enjoyable way.

If you're a beginner, the lessons are in depth, I show you my whole process, and you can follow along step by step. Don't forget to pause and rewind if you need to catch up on something too :)

If you're more advanced, then perhaps your looking to experiment or loosen up, there are loads of little tips and tricks that might give you some new inspiration, or ideas to incorporate into your next piece or your style in general.

I am in love with loose, vibrant and expressive urban sketching, with ink and watercolors:

What are we going to cover?

I use a variety of methods to achieve this, and in this in depth class I want to give you the benefits of my experimentation, showing and guiding you through a series of classes to build confidence and give you a bag of tricks to use next time you’re sketching.

We’ll start off with an overview of the tools I use – for example:

What kind of pens are best?
- Fineliners
- Fountain pens
- And others
What ink should I use?
- Black, or coloured
- Water proof and water soluble
And what colours are in my palette, and why!

Then we’ll move onto practicing and playing, I’ll demonstrate a few principles, but we move onto sketching three different urban scenes, putting these experimental techniques into practice. The techniques we'll cover include:

Continuous line sketching
Granulation
Watercolor cauliflowers
Splashes of colour
Use of wax
Salt application techniques
And MORE!!

With watercolors, you can make the most AMAZING textures - here are some examples of the kind of fun you can have:

Why choose this class?

I've really enjoyed making this class, and I'd love you to join in with the fun. I've built on my last two successful classes, and I really think this one is my best yet.

From this class, I hope that you will build confidence, learn some new techniques, and break free a little to start or develop your loose and expressive sketching. Perhaps you'll even find or evolve your own unique style!

I don't want you to think you always have to try this fun and sometimes wacky techniques, but I do want to show people the broad and fascinating possibilities that are out there to really let you express yourself in your sketching, and not feel bound to the 'normal rules' of watercolor and ink.
