1. Welcome to the Class: When we talk about
urban sketching, it's an art style in which you do not have to worry
about perfection. There are elements around
you that you can observe carefully and convert it
into a beautiful painting. In this class, we
are going to paint ten beautiful urban silhouettes with an abstract
watercolor background. Using a minimal color palette and easy techniques to paint. Hey, everybody, you're most
welcome to my new class. My Self thick Patel. I'm a self taught
independent artist and an interior
designer by profession. I personally love to explore different art mediums and styles and not stick to
one particular thing. So if you're joining
me, you'll find a variety of classes
that I create. We are going to start by understanding all the
class projects in detail. There are going to be ten
beautiful paintings having ten different urban elements with a nice abstract
watercolor background. We're going to study about
all the art supplies that you will need
for the entire class. No need to worry at
all in case you're missing out on any
particular art supply, you'll find it very easily in
any nearby local art store. We are going to understand
the color palette in detail so that you can get an exact idea of
how we are going to create a beautiful
abstract background. We're going to have a
simple practice session in which I'll be teaching
you how you can apply a solid black ink to create a urban element and
how to add details. So the first step is to create an abstract background
using a wet on wet technique
using watercolors. The second step is to add a beautiful solid
black urban element. And the last step is to add minute details using
a simple white pen. We're going to add
some simple text to the entire painting. Using three simple
and easy steps, we are going to create
ten beautiful paintings based on urban sketching. The practice sheet
will help you a lot to develop confidence
while painting. It's a combination
of urban silhouettes and abstract
watercolor background. The class is absolutely
suited for beginners and also intermediate and advanced
level artists can try it. So without any delay, grab your art supplies, and join me on this
creative journey. Okay.
2. Details About the Class Projects: Hey, buddy. Before we
start with the class, let me give you all
the details about the ten paintings
that we are going to create. No need
to worry at all. The paintings are very
easy and simple to create. Also, no need to worry
about painting it in the exact same
way I'm painting. So you don't have to
worry about the output. Just enjoy the entire
process of creating and you will definitely learn a lot from
the entire course. Observe all the details
carefully so that you can get an exact idea of all the ten paintings that
we are going to create. Now, let me take you towards
the paintings. Okay. So right in front of you, I have my sketchbook of size A six in which I practice
on a regular basis. I have created all
the ten paintings in this particular
sketchbook only, and then I have
removed the papers. Let me show you the front page
of the sketchbook as well, so you can observe it's
an A six size sketchbook. And the pages are one 50 GSM. In case you do not have an A six size sketchbook,
it is completely fine. You can experiment with
the size of the paper. You can simply follow
the painting style, so the size of the paper
will not matter at all. So let me show you one
of the class project. If you observe carefully, the project is having a beautiful green
abstract background. Then there is these
beautiful bushes that I have created on
the left hand side, a beautiful urban element that
is completely solid black, and I have added details
using my white pen. Similarly, I have
another class project. So there's a combination of
deep green and light green in the background that
we have created using a wet on wet technique
using watercolors. If you observe carefully, there is a contrast
between all the elements. There is the background,
then there is the solid black
urban element and the white details
that we are going to create using solid white pen. Okay. The only thing that is
changing is the sellout of the urban element that
we're going to create and the details that we are going to create using white pen. The best part about
all the ten paintings is that once we create
the abstract background, we're going to
create the outline using a solid black pen, and then we are going to fill in solid black color in
the entire portion. Once we are done painting the
entire solid black color, we're going to add minute
details using solid white pen. So these are five of
the class projects, which is going to have
green abstract background. Now we have five
more class projects, which is having a beautiful
blue and purple background. So for blue, I'll be
using ultramarine, and there's going to be a simple purple color that we're going to apply simultaneously. So we'll be creating a beautiful abstract background
using these two colors, and the remaining steps
are absolutely seen. We're going to
create a beautiful, solid urban black element, and I'll be adding these
little minute details using a solid white pen. You can observe a little
text also that we're going to create to add some aesthetics to
the entire painting. Now, in all the ten
class projects, you are free to explore
with the color palette. You can use a different
color palette as well. You can simply follow the steps and create the entire painting. It is completely fine. Let me show you the last
class project as well. You can observe some minute,
beautiful details here. These are all the ten
paintings that we are going to create
for the entire class. I hope that you got an exact
idea of the class projects. Now let us move
towards the next part.
3. Art Supplies: Hey, everybody, before
we start with the class, let me give you all the details about the art supplies that we are going to use
for the entire class. No need to worry at all. In case you are missing out
on any particular art supply, you'll find it very easily in any nearby local
art store or you can go for any other good
alternative as well. So as you can observe, I have placed all my art supplies in a systematic manner so that I can give you all the
details carefully. So the first art supply is a simple tissue paper
that we're going to keep nearby so that we can remove excess amount of water from
the brush whenever required. Then I'll show you
my color palette. It is having multiple
colors in it, but no need to worry about that. We're only going
to use four colors from this particular
color palette In case you want to use a simple
color palette and take out the colors directly
from your color tube, it is completely fine. Just make sure that you
have enough mixing space. Now, let me give
you the details of the watercolors that
we are going to use. There are going to be four basic colors that you will need. The first one is deep green, then we have light green,
purple, and ultramarine. These are the four colors
that I'm going to use. In case you want to experiment
with the color palette, it is completely fine. You can create your own
combination of the colors. You can experiment with
the abstract background. So for the abstract background, we're going to
create a combination of two colors together. Then I have my next art supply, which is a simple
spray bottle to loosen the color up
from the color palette. In case you do not
have a spray bottle, you can take the
water directly from your container. It
is completely fine. Then we have the
next art supply, which is a simple pencil that we might use to create any rough
sketch wherever required. Then comes the next art supply, which is a simple black pen. So you can observe the
tip of the black pen. It's a very thin tip, so we're going to use to create some random strokes in
the entire painting. Then we're going to use a
simple solid white pen. You can observe that it is having a solid white
color in it and a thin tip that we're
going to use to add minute details to the
entire urban element. Then next up, I have a
simple Cligraphy pen. It is again a simple
solid black pen only, but it is having a
little bit thick tip than the first black
pen that I showed you. You can use any other
good alternative as well. This is basically
a caligraphy pen. Then I have my last marker, which is a thick solid black
marker that we're going to use to apply solid black color in the entire urban element. You can observe the tip of
the solid black marker. It will help us a lot to apply the solid black color in
the entire urban element. Now, let me show you two of our class projects
so that you can get an exact idea
of the paper size. So this is basically a
white paper of A six size, and you can observe two of
our class projects carefully. So let me give you the
detail of the sketchbook. It's a simple A six size
sketchbook having one 50 GSM. In case you do not have an A six size
sketchbook or a paper, you can use a
different size paper. Just make sure that it
is of a good quality, and it has one 50 GSM in it. I have suparated all the ten class projects by
removing the paper. In case you want to keep the paintings in the
sketchbook only, it is completely fine, and in case you want to keep
the paper separate, that is also absolutely fine. So I hope that you got an
exact idea of the paper on which we are going to create all the ten class projects. Now, let us talk about
the next art supply, which is a simple quill
brush of size two. In case you do not
have a quill brush, you can definitely use
a round brush as well. The best part about the
class is that you will need a single brush to create this beautiful
abstract background. I'll be showing you the
round brush as well. In case you do not
have a quill brush, you can use a round
brush off size eight. Okay. Then comes the
next art supply, which is a simple glass container in which
we are going to have some clear water so
that we can clean the brushes and use water wherever required in
the entire class. These are all the art supplies that you will need
for the entire class. No need to worry at
all. In case you're missing out on any
particular art supply, you'll find it very easily in any nearby local
art store or you can go for any other good
alternative as well. Now let us move
towards the next part.
4. Color Palette: Okay. Hey, everybody, now, let us understand the color palette that we're going to use. So there is going to be a
simple abstract background that we're going to create using a technique known as wet on wet. And there's going to be a
very minimal color palette. So no need to worry about that. In case you're not having the exact colors that I'm using, you can definitely go for
any other good alternative. It is completely fine. Also, you're free to experiment and explore your
own color palette. You can choose different
colors if you want to. Now let me take you towards the color palette
so that you can get an exact idea of how we're going to create a beautiful
abstract background. So as you can observe, I'm
ready with my sketchbook, having all the labelings
in the bottom portion. These are the colors that we are going to apply onto the paper. So I have given the
heading color palette. There are four
colors, ultramarine, purple, deep green,
and light green. In case you want to create your own color palette,
it is completely fine. Let me show you all
the watercolor tubes. So these are basically
four colors. No need to worry at
all. In case you do not have the exact
shade of the color, you can go for any other
good alternative as well. Whenever you want to have a
nice abstract background, it is always good to
use water colors. So now, let us start by applying the first color patch
just above the labeling. I'll be using my quill
brush of size two. Take some good amount
of ultramarine. So I was already having
it in my color palette. Make a good composition of
water and color together. Then just apply a simple
little patch onto the paper. The reason behind why we are doing this particular step is so that you can know the
exact application of the color onto the paper. If you warn that your color should have a better saturation, try to have less amount of
water and more color in it. In case you find that your brush is having axis amount
of water in it, try to dab your brush onto the tissue paper so that axis amount of water
will be removed. Now I'll be cleaning
my quill brush and we'll be applying the second
color, which is purple. So you can observe in
the color palette. I'm going to take some good
amount of saturated purple. No need to worry
about the palette in case you have a very
simple color palette. You can use that as well, take the colors directly from
the watercolor tube, and then make a good composition of water and color together, and then you can apply
the color patch as well. Okay. Now, I'll be
taking the next color, which is going to be deep green, which is a little bit
darker than light green. So clean your quill brush, take some color from
the color palette, and again, apply a little
patch of deep green as well. No need to hurry at all. Take your time and
apply a good patch. Now, repeating the same step, we're going to apply a nice
patch of light green as well. Let me tell you why we're
doing this particular step. When the color is wet and when it is
applied on the paper, the visuals are very different. So when you apply the color onto the paper and the
color gets dry, then you know the
exact color that is going to be visible onto
the entire painting. So now you can
observe that I have applied all the four
colors to the paper, and these are the four
colors that we are going to use in all
the ten paintings. There is a combination of deep green and light green together, and then there is going to be a combination of
ultramarine and purple. Using these two
color combinations, we are going to create a
nice abstract background. Now, let me show you
how we are going to use our black marker to create a nice outline for
the entire urban element. Now, slowly, I have applied these little strokes using a
calligraphy pen basically. In case you have a good
alternative, you can use that. Then I'll be using
another marker, which is a little bit thicker. So by using this thick marker, we are going to apply
solid black color in the entire urban element. And then we have this
simple black pen using which we are
going to create some nice random strokes. I hope that you got an exact
idea of the color palette. Now let us move
towards the next part.
5. Lets Practice: Hey, every buddy. So before we start with all the
ten paintings, we're going to have a
simple practice session in which we are
going to learn about all the elements
that are needed in all the ten paintings and
how to paint them in detail. The practice session
will help you a lot to develop
confidence while painting, and the chances of making
mistakes will be very less. So there is going to be a
simple abstract background that we're going to
create using watercolors. Then I'll be teaching
you how you have to use a solid black color to create
a beautiful urban element, which creates a nice contrast
with the background. And then we're going to add minute details using white pen. So now we are going to practice this beautiful
abstract background that you can observe
in this class project. It is a very simple
and easy step that you can use to create this
nice abstract background. So this is basically known
as a wet on wet technique. You just have to take your
quill brush of size two, apply a thin coat of water on the entire surface in a very
random and natural manner. Make sure that you take
some good amount of water and it should
not dry before we apply the color
because it will not spread in a nice
abstract manner then. So try to apply some
good amount of water. Now, once we have applied
a nice coat of water, we're going to take
some ultramarine, so you just have to take
some good combination of water and color together
from the color palette. No need to worry about
my color palette in case you have a
simple color palette. You can take some good amount
of color directly from your watercolor tube and
mix it well with water. So the brush is full
with color and water. Now, just simply dab your brush onto the paper in
this random manner, and you'll observe that
your color will spread in a very natural
and abstract manner. No need to hurry at all.
Take your time and just apply the color in this
nice natural manner. In case you find that your color is getting finished
from the brush, you can definitely take some more color from
the color palette, mix it well with water. And then we are going to
apply the color again. You can already observe that there is water
in the background, which is not dry
completely right now, and you just have
to slowly apply these little patches and your color will
spread automatically. This technique is basically known as a wet on wet technique, which is very much
used in water colors. So you just have to apply a
thin coat of water initially, but it should be
in a good amount, and then you have to
apply color so that your color will spread
in this natural manner. Now, to make a good
combination of another color, we're going to take some
purple from the color palette. So add a little bit of water, make a good combination of
color and water together. Now, we are going to apply the color in the
remaining portion. Again, the steps are
absolutely same. You just have to randomly apply
the color in this manner. No need to hurry at
all, take your time and make sure that you apply
the color in a nice way. Also, no need to
worry about getting the abstract background in the exact same way
I'm having right now. Your abstract background will be definitely a
little bit different. And it is absolutely fine. So no need to worry
about the output. So we have created
a good combination of ultramarine and
purple together. You can already observe that I'm applying the color in the
bottom portion as well. So we are almost done creating this beautiful
abstract background. Now, we're going to
splatter some color. So your brush is already having some good
amount of color. Just simply tap your finger onto the brush and splatter the
color in this random manner. You'll observe that you'll get this beautiful splatter of color on the entire background. So we are done with the
abstract background. Let me take you a little
bit closer so that you can observe all
the details carefully. Before starting with
the urban element, we have to give some time
for the background to dry. So let the background
dry for a while. And once the entire
background is dry, then we can start
with the next step. Now you can observe
that our beautiful abstract background
is completely dry. I'll be using my
calligraphy pen, which is basically a
simple black marker only, and we're going to
create the outline of the entire urban
element that we are going to paint or I can say draw on
the entire surface. So it's a very simple
and easy technique. You just have to create
this nice outline. And then once you're
done with the outline, you're going to fill in solid black color in the
entire portion. So I started by creating
two semicircular shapes, which is basically dome, and you can add these
vertical lines to create some beautiful towers
and some little elements. This entire urban element is
just for your knowledge so that you know how we
are going to create the elements in the
class projects as well. So I have drawn two
little windows in between where we are not
going to fill in solid black color in
the inner portion. You can add the windows according to your
convenience as well. You can create your
own composition. And I'll be using my thick
marker, as you can observe. It gets a nice solid black color when you apply using
this thick marker. It is also possible
for you to give solid black color using
black pot color as well. But it would be really great
if you use a marker so that you can get a nice
high opacity color. She'll get a nice
saturated color if you use a nice thick marker, and it would be really
easy for you to apply this little patch as well. We are not painting
on a bigger scale, so it is completely fine.
You can use a marker. Now you can observe
that I have created the entire sellout of the urban element using
this solid black marker. And you can also observe how beautiful these little
windows are looking. Where we have not applied
solid black color. I'll be adding a nice outline for a beautiful plantation
in the right hand side, and then you can fill in solid black color in the
inner portion, using the calligraphy pen itself or any marker
that you're having. Now, let us use white pen to add minute details to
the entire sellout, which is a very
amazing and easy step. Just use a simple white pen, add these minute
details to the dome. In the bottom
portion of the dome, you can add these nice
rectangular shapes, and you can just add some vertical and
horizontal lines together to form
some minute details. It is completely fine to
not follow the exact steps. You can create the details according to your
convenience as well. If you want to give
some more depth to the entire detailing, you can add these little
lines in between as well. Right now, you can observe
a beautiful contrast with the urban element and
the background and the white pen details that
we are adding right now. She can observe that
using three basic steps, creating an abstract background, creating a urban element, and adding minute
details using white pen. We created a nice painting,
as you can observe. You can use a black pen to add some random strokes to create
some nice abstract element. She can observe how beautiful the entire painting is looking. You can compare it with
the class project. The practice sheet will help you a lot to develop
confidence while painting and the chances of making mistakes
will be very less. Let me take you a little bit closer so that you can observe the color palette and the
practice sheet both carefully. Now, let us move towards our
first class project. Okay.
6. Painting 1 - The Castle: Hey, everybody, you're
most welcome to the first painting,
which is the castle. You can observe the
class project carefully. So I'm ready with
my sketchbook and all the art supplies nearby so that we can access them
in an easy manner. So I'll be using my
quill brush of size two, and we're going to
apply a nice coat of water on the
entire paper surface, which is basically known
as a wet on wet technique. To create an
abstract background, this particular
step is required. So make sure that you apply some good amount of
water because it will be needed for your color to spread in a very abstract
and natural manner. In case you're not
having a quill brush, you can use a round
brush as well. It is completely fine. I'll be taking our first color, which is going to
be ultramarine. So take some good amount of
color from the color palette. I was already having the
colors in my color palette. As you can observe, that it is placed on the topmost portion. You have to make a
good combination of color and water together. So the first color
is ultramarine. In case you do not have
this type of color palette, you can use a simple
color palette as well. Just take the color in a simple color palette
mix it well with water. Make sure that your brush
is loaded with color and water and just start applying these little
patches of color, and you'll observe that
your color will spread automatically since we have applied a thin coat of
water in the background. No need to hurry at all.
Take your time and just apply the color patches in a very random and
natural way only. No need to worry about getting an output very similar to mine. Your background might
differ from mine, and it is completely fine. So you can observe
that we have applied the ultramarine color
in a very nice manner. Also, in case you want to
experiment with the colors. It is completely fine. In case you want to use a different
combination of colors. It is absolutely fine. You can select your
own color palette according to your convenience. Now, we are going
to use some purple. So just clean your
quill brush and water, and we are going to
make a good combination of purple this time with water. So make sure that your brush is loaded with color and water. Now, similarly, just apply these little patches on
the topmost portion. You can randomly apply them. It is completely fine
and you'll observe a nice combination of this particular color as
well with ultramarine. In certain portions, you can use the tip of your round brush
to add these little patches, and in certain
portion in case you want to use the
surface of the brush, that is also absolutely fine. So we are almost done adding a beautiful abstract background
onto our sketchbook. Now, we're going to
splatter some color to create some nice
abstract effect, which makes the
entire painting look a little bit more
classy and aesthetic. I find that there
is a little bit of more white space to make it
a little bit more colorful. You can just add
some water around. You'll observe that the color will spread automatically to cover the more whiter space
that is on the outer portion. Now we are going to
splatter some color, take some good color and
water in your quill brush. Make a good combination
of both of them. You can also add a
little bit of purple if you want to and it is going
to be a very fun step. Just tap your finger
onto the brush, and you will observe
that the color will splatter in
this random manner. You can observe these little
dots in variation of sizes, and it is looking really nice. You can add this on
the sides as well. No need to hurry at
all. Take your time and do this particular step
in a careful manner. So we are done with the
abstract background. Give it some time to dry. M. Once the abstract
background is dry, I'm going to create a
beautiful outline of the entire castle using
my calligraphy pen, which is basically a
simple black marker only. So you can observe it is
having a nice tip that you can use to create the outline of the entire urban element. So I'm starting with a nice pointed and triangular
roof on the left hand side, and I have created a nice
vertical wall attached to it. Then there's going to
be a nice element, which is having a
semicircular dome shape on the topmost portion, connect it with two
vertical lines. So it's a combination of
horizontal and vertical lines together forming the entire structure of the castle element. Now, slowly, I'll be completing
the entire urban element. So I'm going to attach
the central element with the triangular element that we have drawn on
the left hand side. No need to hurry at
all. Take your time and try to give a noise outline. It is completely fine if your outline varies a
little bit than mine. It is absolutely okay. There might be some differences. Then I'll be adding my
nice dome structure on the right hand side as well. So you can just add
a semicircular shape on the topmost portion. Add two horizontal lines
and one vertical line. You can also add
one vertical line on the topmost portion of all these structures to create some nice aesthetics to
the entire urban element. So right now, you can observe a beautiful outline of
the entire urban element. Now, we are going to make the entire urban
element solid black using our black marker,
which is very thick. You can observe it tip. I'm starting from
the topmost portion, adding these little
strokes combined together to form a
solid black patch. In case you want to
use a black color, it is also fine, but if you'll use this marker, you'll get a nice saturated
solid black patch to the entire urban element. So slowly, I'll be covering
the entire urban element. Make sure that your marker do
not get out of the outline. I'm starting to add the solid black patch in
the second element as well. So you just have to slowly observe the movement of my hand. I'm slowly adding this combining these little
vertical strokes together. No need to hurry at
all. Take your time. Make sure that there is
no space left in between. And if you want
to randomly leave some space in between,
it is completely fine. It can be a part of some
aesthetic elements. Now, slowly, I'll be covering the entire dome structure in the right hand side with this
solid black patch as well. So you can slowly observe
a beautiful contrast of the entire urban element with the beautiful watercolor
abstract background. Now, I'll be covering
the remaining portion on the bottom area as well. You can randomly add the solid black patch in the bottom portion in
this random manner, adding some vertical lines. So we are done with
the entire structure. In case you find that there
is any space left in between, you can apply the marker again. I'll be using my
black marker again, which is having a
little bit thin tip to add some bushes on the
left hand portion. Starting from the
topmost portion, I'll be slowly moving
towards the bottom area, adding these little
strokes together, combining together forming
a beautiful bush element, and then you can fill in solid black color in the
inner portion. No need to hurry at all. In
case you want to fill in solid black color using your thick black marker.
It is completely fine. Now, slowly, I'll be moving
towards the bottom area, and I'll be filling
this solid black patch. She can observe there is a nice bushy element in
the left hand portion, combining with the
urban element. In case you want to experiment with this particular element, you can add the bush randomly according to your
convenience as well. So we are done adding the entire sellout of the
urban element and the bushes. In case you want to add minute details using
your black marker, you can add these little strokes on the outline of
the entire bush. I'll be using my black pen, and I'll be adding these
little strokes randomly. So it's a very thin black pen. You can just randomly add
these strokes to make the entire painting
sellout look a little bit more
aesthetic and elegant. And in case you do not
want to add these strokes, it is completely fine. Now, let us add some minute
details using our white pen. I'll be using my white pen, and I'm starting from
the topmost portion. It's a very interesting step that you will
definitely enjoy doing. So we're going to add minute details using this white pen, starting from the
horizontal lines just below the dome area. So you have to basically define the entire castle elements
using this white pen. You can also observe a
beautiful contrast of these solid white strokes with the solid black
background as well. Now, to make the line a
little bit more aesthetic, I'll be adding these
little vertical lines just below that using the
tip of my white pen. Similarly, you can repeat the same step for the next
horizontal line as well. That is not at all
compulsory for you to add the details in the exact same
way I'm adding right now. In case you want to
play with the details, if you want to create
your own details as well, it is completely fine. So no need to worry
about drawing it in the exact same way
I'm drawing right now. Also, in case you
want to practice the detailing
element or to create the sill out on a rough
scrape of paper initially, and then you want to come
towards your final painting. That is also completely fine. This will help your
lot to develop confidence while
drawing and painting, and the chances of making
mistakes will be very less. So I've added a few more horizontal lines on
the bottom portion. Now, let us add few details in the dome element on the
right hand side as well. So I'll be adding these
little strokes on the topmost portion
in the curved manner. Then I'll be adding a few
horizontal lines as well. Before that, let us complete
the first building element, which is in the center by
adding a simple vertical line, and then I'll connect it
with two horizontal lines. So now you can observe
how beautifully the entire dome structure
is getting defined. The more minute details
you'll add to the sell out, the more aesthetic the
entire painting will look. No need to hurry at
all. Take your time and add some minute details
using your white pen. Enjoy the entire process. It's a very satisfying
step as well. Now, let us move towards
the left hand side as well. So we have this nice
triangular roof that we're going to define
by adding some lines. No need to hurry at all. In case you want to add the details. According to your convenience, it is completely fine. I'll be adding these
horizontal lines to separate the triangular roof and
add these minute details. Now, let us add a beautiful
window on the bottom portion. You can add a semicircular
shape on the topmost portion and just complete it by adding vertical and
horizontal lines together. In case you want to add
a solid white patch, that is also completely fine. So we are almost done adding all the minute details
to the entire sellout. You can observe that
the entire structure is looking more detailed, and there is a
beautiful contrast with the solid white color and
the black background. I'll be adding a few details in the dome structure that is
on the right hand side. You can add two vertical lines, and you can just add
these little lines to define some structural
elements of the entire castle. One thing that I would
like to tell you all is that no need
to worry about adding the minute details in the exact same way
I'm adding right now. In case you want to create your own details in
your own manner, it is completely fine. You can also experiment
with the entire sellout, and you can also
experiment in the details. So now we are done adding these beautiful minute details to the entire sellout
using our white pen. You can reapply the white
pen wherever you find that the saturation of the white
color is a little bit less. I'll be adding a simple text element in the entire painting. I'll be writing urban sketching. So I'll be using my black pen. You can write any text
that you want to. You can also write
a motivation quote. Or any message that you would like to add to your painting. So we are done with
the entire painting. Let me take you a
little bit closer so that you can observe all
the details carefully. I hope that you enjoyed this particular painting and
got to learn something new. Using three basic steps, we created the entire painting, the abstract background, the urban sellout,
and wide details. No need to worry
about creating it in the exact same
way I have created. You're free to explore
and experiment. Now let us move towards
the next painting.
7. Painting 2 - The Palace: Hey, everybody, you're
most welcome to the second painting,
which is the palace. So as you can observe, I'm
ready with my sketchbook, and all the art supplies nearby. We are going to
start by creating a beautiful abstract background. I'll be using my quill
brush of size two, and we're going to
add a nice coat of water in the sketchbook. Take some good amount of water from the
container and apply a nice coat of water on the entire surface of the paper in a very random way only. Now, we are going to
take some good amount of ultramarine from
the color palette. No need to hurry at all. Just make a good combination
of water and color together. Make sure that your
brush is loaded with color and water
in a nice composition. Now, just dab your brush
onto the paper and you'll observe that the color
will automatically spread on the entire surface. In case you find that the color is getting finished
from the brush, you can definitely take some
more color in your brush. You can already observe how beautiful the entire color
is getting spreaded. Now, this is basically
ultramarine that we have applied for the entire
abstract background. Now, I'll be taking some purple. The steps are absolutely same. You just have to make
a good combination of water and color together. Load your brush with a
lot of color and simply dab your brush in
this random manner wherever you want to. It is not at all
compulsory to get an exact abstract background
that I'm creating right now. Your abstract background
might vary from mine, and it is completely fine. There might be a
bit of difference. So right now, you can observe a beautiful combination of ultramarine and purple together. You can spread the colors
by adding some water in the surrounding
portion where you find that there is a little
bit of more white space. Now, we are going to
splatter some color in the background color
that we have created. It's a very fun step.
Make a good combination of color and water together. Tap your finger
onto the brush and splatter some color
in the surroundings. Now, once we are done
with the background, you have to give some
time for it to dry. Now, once the entire
background is dry, we are going to create
a beautiful outline of the entire urban element, which is basically the palace. So I'm starting by creating a simple semicircular shape
on the topmost portion. You can add a simple
vertical line as well. Now, on the bottom portion
of the semicircular shape, you can add a simple
horizontal line. Now, we are adding
two vertical lines on either sides to create
a beautiful tower. No need to hurry at
all, take your time and try to draw with
a lot of patients. They are initially
starting to create a beautiful outline of
the entire urban element. I have added another
semicircular shape, which is a little bit
smaller than the first one. You can similarly add
a simple vertical line on the topmost portion. Now, we are going to have
a nice triangular roof on the left hand
portion as well, which is connected
with the elements that we have drawn on
the right hand side. So you just have to simply
draw two slant lines and just add a simple horizontal line in
the bottom portion. Now we have to add vertical
lines to create the walls. You can add another
element attached to the semicircular shape on
the right hand side as well. Now using our thick marker, we are going to add
a solid black patch in the entire urban element
that we have created. In case you want to paint the entire surface
using your watercolors, basically a black watercolor. It is absolutely fine, but it would be better
if you use the marker so that you can get a highly
saturated black color. Now, you can slowly observe
the movement of my hand. I'll be adding these
little vertical strokes together forming these black
patch in the entire surface. No need to hurry
at all. Try to do this particular step in a
very slow and steady manner. Make sure that there is
no space left in between. In case you want to leave
some space in between, it is absolutely fine. You can create some
aesthetic elements by leaving some
space in between. Now, slowly, I'll be
covering the other element by adding the beautiful
solid black patch, starting from the
semicircular shape on the topmost portion. You can observe the way I'm
applying the marker by adding this little solid black patch.
No need to hurry at all. Take your time and try to
apply a good solid patch. Also, in case you want
to experiment and explore with the outline of
the entire urban element. It is absolutely fine. You can draw it according
to your convenience. You can already observe
a beautiful contrast of the entire urban element with the abstract background
that we have created. Now, slowly, I'll
be moving towards the right side and covering
the remaining portion. In the bottom portion,
you can observe we have randomly left some
solid black strokes. So we are done with the entire solid black urban sell out. Now, I'll be using
my black pen to add some random strokes in the surrounding of
the entire painting. No need to hurry
at all. Just apply these strokes in a very
random and natural manner. It basically creates some beautiful aesthetics
to the entire painting. In case you do not want to add these strokes
to your painting. It is absolutely fine. I'll be using my
white pen to add minute details to
the entire sell out. No need to hurry at all. Just take your time and add these little strokes in curved manner to the
semicircular shape, and then you can fill in some minor strokes in
between as well. I'll be adding a simple
horizontal line. In case you find that the saturation of your white
pen is a little bit less, then you can reapply
the strokes on it. And once you find
that you're getting a nice good contrast with the solid black background,
you're good to go. So I'll be adding these little
rectangular shapes just below the horizontal line
to add some minute details, and it also increases the entire aesthetics
of the entire painting. Now, we're going to repeat
the same steps by adding two more horizontal lines and adding the minute
details just below that. This particular step of adding minute details using a white pen is really very interesting, and you don't have to
worry about adding the details in the exact same
way I'm adding right now. In case you want to create your own details and make
a different composition, it is completely fine. So you can observe that
I added a nice window by creating a semi circular
shape on the topmost portion, added few horizontal and
vertical lines together. If you want to have
a nice white patch, you can just add these little
vertical strokes together. I'll be adding the
horizontal lines in the smaller dome
structure as well. And we're going to
add little windows. So you can observe
the way I'm using the tip of my detailing pen. No need to hurry at all. Try to add the details in a
very slow and steady manner. Make sure that you apply
a nice white patch. Now, in the dome structure, which is a little bit smaller, there also, you can add
these little strokes. Now, let us add details
to the triangular roof. So I'm just giving an outline, leaving some black space
on the outer portion. You can observe how beautifully the entire structure is getting defined when we add this beautiful details
using a white pen. Now, in the combination
of two vertical lines, you can add these strokes. And you can observe
how beautiful these minute details
are getting. In case you're not that much
confident enough to add the white details
using your white pen directly towards
your entire sellout. What you can do is you
can practice it on a rough scrape of
paper initially, and then you can come
towards your final painting. This will help your lot to
develop confidence while painting and the chances of making mistakes
will be very less. You can carefully observe
the way I have added these little rectangular shapes just below the horizontal line, and it increases the beauty
of the entire structure. Similarly, we are adding
these minute details on the horizontal lines in
the bottom portion as well. You can add two vertical lines having some space in between, and then you can fill in
using solid white pen. There is no specific way of
adding these minute details, so you are free to
explore and you can add the details according
to your convenience. You will definitely enjoy
the entire process. In order to add a
few more details, I'm adding these little windows
in the entire structure. So we are almost done adding
details using our white pen. I'm adding these little windows to increase some more detail. If you observe carefully, it's a combination of
horizontal and vertical strokes together that are forming
these minute details. Now, you can observe
a beautiful contrast of the abstract background, the urban sellout
that we created using solid black color and
these minute details, which we have created
using a white pen. Now, we can just add these
little circular shapes in the abstract background to create some nice classic
effect to the entire painting. No need to hurry at all, take your time and do it
with a lot of patience. Now let us add some nice
text to the entire painting. So I'll be writing urban
sketching using my black pen, which is having a very thin tip. You can write any
other message as well. According to your
convenience as well. It is absolutely fine. So we are done with
the entire painting. Let me take you a
little bit closer so that you can observe all
the details carefully. I hope that you enjoyed
the entire painting. Using three basic steps, we created the entire painting. No need to worry about
getting an exact output. You are free to explore
and experiment. Just enjoy the process. Now let us move towards
the next painting.
8. Painting 3 - The Windows: Hey, everybody, you're
most welcome to the third painting,
which is the windows. So as you can observe,
I'm ready with my sketchbook and all
the art supplies nearby. The first step is a
very interesting step, which is basically creating a beautiful abstract background. You just have to apply a nice coat of water on the
entire surface of the paper. No need to hurry at all, take
some good amount of water, and the water should not dry
before we apply the color. Now, once we have applied
a nice coat of water, we are going to take
some good amount of ultramarine from
the color palette. Make a good composition of
water and color together. Load your brush with
a lot of color and water and just simply
dab it onto the paper. You will observe
that the color will automatically spread on
the entire paper surface. And this is basically known
as a wet on wet technique in which we apply a nice
coat of water initially, and then we apply color on it. So you can observe the
way ultramarine is getting spreaded all
over the entire surface. You can slowly move towards
the bottom area in case you find that the color is getting
finished from your brush, you can take some more color
from the color palette. No need to hurry at all. Try to do this
particular step in a very slow and steady
manner. Take your time. You can use the tip of your quill brush to add
little patches as well. Now, once we are done
applying ultramarine, I'll be taking some purple
from the color palette. Again, make a good combination of color and water together, load your brush with some
good amount of color. And then you have to simply dab your brush in this
random manner. You will observe that the
color will automatically spread since the
paper is still wet. So you can observe
carefully the way I'm adding these little purple
patches on the outer portion. Now, simply tap your finger onto the brush and
splatter some color. There is no specific way
of plattering the color. You just have to
randomly splatter the color around
the entire paper. In case you find that there is a little bit of
more white space, you can add some water
in the surrounding. The color will spread
automatically. Now, let the background
dry for a while. Once your background is dry, I'll be using my marker to draw the outline of the
entire urban sellout. So I'm starting from
the topmost portion, adding a simple vertical line. This particular
painting is named as the windows because it is having a lot of
windows in between, which we are not going
to make solid black. So I've just added the
semicircular shape, which is basically a dome of the entire
building structure. No need to hurry at all, you just have to simply
follow the steps. In case you might have a little bit of difference
in the entire outline, it is completely fine. No
need to worry about that. The outline will
basically help us where we have to apply
the solid black color. So I'm just adding
the vertical lines to complete the entire
building structure. Also, there is no
specific way of drawing. I'm just randomly creating a beautiful building structure. So no need to worry
about perfection. It's a combination of horizontal and vertical lines together. So you don't have to
take it that seriously. So we have almost completed a beautiful building structure. I'm adding some minute details. You can observe I have just drawn a simple
semicircular shape. You can complete it by adding these vertical lines
and horizontal line. So these are basically the
windows that I'm talking about where we are not going
to apply solid black color. Okay. You can carefully observe the way I'm using
the tip of my marker. Now we are going to have
some nice plantation in the left hand portion. You have to use the tip
of your marker and create this nice random line forming a beautiful outline for
the entire plantation. No need to worry
about drawing it in the exact same way I have drawn. You can create your own
composition as well. Now, once we are done, adding the outline of the entire building structure
and the plant, we are going to add a
nice solid black patch to the entire urban element. No need to hurry
at all. Just apply a nice solid black patch in a very slow and
steady manner, take smaller portion at a time. Make sure that your
marker does not move outside the outline of
the entire urban element. Now, we are slowly
going to cover the entire element using this beautiful
solid black marker. In the remaining portion
of the entire building, you have to be a
little bit careful. Use the tip of your marker to apply the solid black
patch around the window. We are not going to apply
the marker inside the window because we want to create
some minute details inside. So there is a need of the background color
that we have applied. So you can observe the way
I'm moving my marker in this horizontal and
vertical direction so that my marker will not
move inside the window area. Similarly, I'll be doing the same steps in
the bottom portion. In case you find that
the entire urban element is a little bit
difficult to draw. You can definitely
practice it on a rough scrape of
paper initially. And then you can come
towards your final painting. This will help you a lot to
develop confidence while painting and the chances of making mistakes
will be very less. Now, slowly, I have covered
the entire building element. Now, we are going to apply
the solid black color in the bush that we have created
in the left hand portion. It's basically a
plantation element only, which is connected to the
entire urban element. Again, I'll be adding these
little small black patches to cover the entire area. In case you want to apply solid black color
using watercolors, that is fine, but you won't get this highly saturated
solid black color. It's better to use a marker. It is also very much
convenient and easy to apply. But in case you're
missing out on a marker, then you can definitely
use black watercolor. Now, using my thin marker, I'll be adding these minute
details to the entire bush, which is basically adding
these little strokes to make the bush look a little bit more attractive
and aesthetic. You can also add
these random lines in the bottom portion to create
some nice abstract effect. Now, let us add
minute details to the windows that we have left
applying solid black color. You just have to create
a nice vertical line and then add these
horizontal lines. And you can observe how
beautiful the entire windows. Use the tip of your thin marker to add these vertical
and horizontal lines. And you can observe
how beautiful the entire window element looks. So we are done with
the entire sell out of the urban element. Now, let us add minute details
using our solid white pen. It's one of the most
satisfying part, and you'll definitely
enjoy the entire process. You just have to add these vertical and
horizontal lines to add minute details to the
entire building structure. You can also add
some curved lines. It is absolutely fine in case you want to
experiment and explore. You can add the details according to your
convenience as well. In case you find
that the saturation of the solid white color
that you're applying using your white pen is a little bit less then you can
reapply the strokes as well. You can carefully
observe the way I'm adding these little
vertical lines to enhance the details of the windows and the structures that we
have created in between. There is no specific way of applying these minute details. So no need to worry
about perfection. You can just add them in a
random and natural manner. In case you're not that much
confident enough to add the details using your white pen directly towards your
final urban sell out. What you can do is
you can practice it on a rough scrape
of paper initially, and then you can come
towards your final painting. This will help your lot to
develop confidence while drawing and the chances of making mistakes
will be very less. Also, one thing that
I can suggest to you is that whenever
you're adding minute details using anything
like a pen or a brush, always try to keep your hand
very much slow and steady. Make sure that your hand
is not that much stiff. Try to keep it very
much free and lose. This will help you a lot to move your pen in a very easy manner, and your hand won't
shiver as well. Now, I'll be adding these little windows in the bottom portion, and we're going to enhance the bushes that we have drawn on the left hand side as well by adding these little strokes. So you can observe
the way I'm randomly applying the solid white
pen in this manner. No need to worry
about perfection. I have just randomly applied it on the entire
plantation element. In case you find that
there is a little bit of less saturation in any
of the white strokes, you can reapply some
white strokes to enhance the contrast between
the solid black color. I'll be using my
black pen to add some random strokes around the
entire building structure. You just have to randomly
move your pen in this way. This particular step is not
compulsory to do in case you want to add some
classic effect. Then you can do that. In case you want to skip
this particular step. That is also completely fine. Now, using my white pen, I'll be adding these
little circular shape in the abstract background to create some more aesthetics. No need to hurry at
all. Take your time and add the dots in a very
random and natural way. Now, let us add some text
to the entire painting. I'll be writing urban sketching. You can write any message
according to your convenience. It is absolutely fine. So we are done with
the entire painting. Let me take you a
little bit closer so that you can observe all
the details carefully. You can observe using
three basic steps. We have created the
entire painting. I hope that you enjoyed creating this particular painting and
got to learn something new. Now, let us move towards
the next painting.
9. Painting 4 - Vintage House: Everybody, you're most welcome
to the fourth painting, which is vintage House. So as you can observe, I'm ready with my watercolor paper, and all the art supplies nearby. I'll be using my quill
brush of size two. No need to worry at all in case you're not
having a quill brush. You can use a round
brush as well. You're going to apply a
nice coat of water on the entire paper surface in
this random manner only. Make sure that your paper is
wet before you apply color. So now we are going to take some ultramarine from
the color palette, make a good composition of
water and color together. Now, simply dab your brush onto the paper and you'll
observe that the color will automatically spread on
the entire paper surface in a very random and
abstract manner. No need to hurry at all, try to do this particular step in a very slow and
steady manner. This is basically known as
a wet on wet technique in which we apply a thin
coat of water initially, and then we apply
the color so that the color will
spread automatically on the entire background. In case you find that your color is getting finished
from the brush, you can definitely
take some more color from the color palette, add some amount of water, mix them well together. Now I'll be taking
some purple from the color palette and
mix it well with water. Okay. Then simply apply the color on the outskirt
of the entire background. You can randomly apply it
anywhere where you want to. So no need to worry
about getting the exact abstract background that I am creating right now. You can have a little
bit of difference, and it is absolutely fine. Now, simply tap your
finger onto the brush and splatter some color around in a very random and
natural way only. So we are done with the
entire abstract background, let it dry for a while. Once your entire
background is dry, we're going to
create the outline of the entire vintage house. Starting from the roof element by creating these
two slant lines. No need to hurry at all. Use the tip of your
marker very carefully and just apply these two slant
lines connecting together. Then I'll be adding one
simple vertical line. And then we are going to
add another vertical line, which is going to act as the
wall of the entire house. They are using the
marker to create the outline of the
entire urban element. And then we are going to have some nice roof element in the
left hand portion as well. You just have to create a
simple horizontal line, connect it with a slant line, and then you have to
add this vertical line. So this is basically part of
the entire vintage house. Now, we are going to add
some nice plantation in the left hand portion by adding a rough random line in this manner. No need
to hurry at all. Take your time and create a very rough and random
line creating some bushes. I'll be adding some
building structure in the bottom portion also. So once we are done, creating the outline of the entire house, we're going to fill in
solid black color in the inner portion. No
need to hurry at all. I'll be taking my
thick marker and just apply these small
solid black patches. No need to hurry at all, take your time and apply the patches. You can also add these
little two chimneys on the topmost portion. Slowly, you can just
cover the entire surface. Make sure that you do not
leave any space in between. Now, similarly, I'll be adding the solid black patch in
the bottom portion as well. You can observe
carefully the way I'm using the tip of my
solid black marker. Now, I'll be adding the solid black patch in the
house element. It is having two
beautiful slant roof. And then we are going to
cover the entire surface. So whenever you're using
a solid black marker, try to apply the patches in smaller portions so that you can apply the color
in a nice way. In case you want to use black
water color, it is fine, but you'll get a nice
saturation using a marker, and it will be really
easy for you to apply a solid black color
to the entire surface. While you're also applying the solid black patch to
the entire urban element, make sure that you do not
move out of the outline. Now, slowly, as you can observe, I'm having the
remaining portion, which we are going to cover
using this marker only. In case you are not that much confident enough to
draw the outline of the entire vintage house
towards your final painting, and you do not want to spoil your beautiful
abstract background. What you can do is you
can practice it on a rough scrape of
paper initially, and then you can come
towards your final painting. This will help you a lot to develop confidence
while drawing, and the chances of making
mistakes will be very less. Now, slowly, we
are going to cover the bottom portion by
applying the marker. One thing that I would
like to tell you all is that no need
to worry about getting the exact outline of the vintage house that
I have drawn right now. Yours might vary from
mine a little bit, and it is absolutely fine. In fact, you're free to
experiment and explore. You can create your
own composition of the entire vintage
house as well. So you can just simply observe and follow
these steps carefully, and you're free to explore. Enjoy the process and no need
to worry about the output. I'll be using my thin marker
to add some minute details. I'm adding a little chimney
in the house element, and we're going to add these little random strokes
using our black pen. It's not a compulsory
step to do. You can just randomly
apply these strokes. In case you do not want to
add these random strokes. That is also completely fine. It is just to add
some aesthetics and increase some
abstract elements. I'll be using my
white pen to add minute details to the
entire vintage house. We are starting with
the triangular roof. As you can observe, I'm
just giving a double line. No need to hurry at all.
You can add the details. According to your
convenience as well. It is absolutely fine. And in case you want
to follow the steps, that is also completely okay. So I'm just adding the
outline initially to the roof which we have created on the left
hand portion also. You can add these little
vertical and horizontal lines to increase the details. I'll be adding these
slant lines to the roof that we have created
on the left hand side. You can observe how beautiful these white lines are looking, and it creates a
beautiful contrast with the solid black background. You can also observe
that I've added two little windows
in the wall element, and you can fill in
some little strokes to make it completely white. Now we're going to add a huge window in the
house element. I'm going to add a
rectangular shape, and we're going to just add vertical and horizontal
lines to make it a little bit more
aesthetic and attractive. You just have to add
two horizontal lines and one simple vertical line. You can increase the
frame size by adding one more line in the outline
of the entire window. You can observe a
beautiful contrast of the entire house with the solid
black background as well. So now, let us add
few details in the bottom portion of the
entire house as well. So I'm going to add a
simple horizontal line. You can make it a
double line as well. And then we're going to add few vertical lines in
a combination of two. To make it a little
bit more aesthetic, you can add these little
white strokes in between. No need to hurry at all, take your time and do it
with a lot of patients. Then you can add
these little small windows in the right hand side. The more details you'll
add to your painting, the better your
painting will look. Also, no need to worry about
adding the details using your white pen in the exact same way I
am adding or drawing. You can create your
own details as well by creating a
beautiful composition. If you observe carefully, it's a combination of horizontal and vertical lines together. Now in order to add
minute details, I'll be just drawing a simple square shape on the
right hand side, attach it with a simple
horizontal line. In case you're not that much
confident enough to add these beautiful details using your white pen towards
your final painting. What you can do is you
can practice it on a rough scrape of
paper initially, and then you can come
towards your final painting. This will help you a lot to develop confidence
while painting, and the chances of making
mistakes will be very less. No need to hurry at all. And one thing that I would
like to suggest to you is that whenever you're
holding a pen or a brush, always try to keep your hand
very much loose and free. No need to make it
very much stiff. This will help you a
lot to draw with a lot of patients and your hand
will not shiver at all. So I'm just adding
these random strokes to enhance the bushes in
the left hand portion, and I'll be just adding a simple horizontal line to
supprate the triangular roof. To add some minute details, I'll be adding a few
more horizontal lines. If you observe carefully, you can see that how beautiful
these minute details are looking when we draw them on
a solid black background. You can add two little windows on either sides of
this big window. Now, using my white pen, I'll just add these
little circular shape in the abstract background to make the painting look a little bit more aesthetic and attractive. Now using my black pen, I'll be just adding
a little text, which is urban sketching. In case you want to add a message according
to your convenience, it is absolutely fine. And we are done with
the entire painting. Now, let me take you
a little bit closer so that you can observe
all the details carefully. You can observe how
beautifully we have used three basic steps and created
a beautiful urban painting. No need to worry
about the output and painting it in the exact
same way I have painted. Just enjoy the process. I hope that you
enjoyed the painting. Now let us move towards
the next painting.
10. Painting 5 - Castle Wall: Hey, everybody, you're most welcome to the fifth painting, which is Castle Wall. So as you can observe, I'm
ready with my sketchbook. We are starting with
the first step, which is applying a thin coat of water on the entire surface of the paper. No need
to hurry at all. Take some good amount of
water and apply it in this random manner on the
entire surface of the paper. Make sure that your paper is wet before you
apply color to it. Now, we are going to take some ultramarine from
the color palette. So make a good composition
of color and water together. No need to hurry
at all. Make sure that your brush is loaded
with color and water. Now, simply dab your brush
randomly to the paper surface. And you will observe
that the color will very naturally spread on the entire paper surface in a very natural manner.
No need to hurry at all. Use the entire surface of the brush also in
case you want to. And if your color is getting
finished from the brush, you can definitely take
some more color from the color palette and simply
dab it onto the paper. You can observe that
we have covered the paper surface with some
beautiful ultramarine. Now, similarly, we are going
to take some purple to make a good combination of water
and color together again. We are going to repeat
the same steps, but this time we have
purple in the brush, and you can again randomly
apply it on the outer portion. No need to hurry at all. Take your time and apply it in a very slow
and steady manner. So I'll be adding
these little patches on the bottom portion as well. Now, simply tap your finger to the brush and splatter some
color in this random manner. No need to hurry at all. Take your time and
splatter the color. You'll definitely
enjoy this process. Now, let the background
dry for a while. Once your background is dry, we are going to
start by creating the outline for a
beautiful urban element. So the urban element that we are drawing right now is
basically a castle wall, which is going to have
some minute details in it. You're starting with
the first element. So I've drawn a simple
horizontal line, followed by two slant lines
in opposite directions, and then you have to
complete the entire roof by adding one more horizontal
line in the bottom portion. So it's basically a trapezium, then you have to add
two vertical lines creating the wall of the
entire building structure. It is not at all
compulsory that you create the entire outline of the urban element or the building element in the exact same way that
I'm drawing right now. You can have your own variation, you're free to explore
and experiment. Now, I'll be just connecting it with a few more
building elements, and you can observe the way
I'm adding another tower, which is going to be
triangular in shape. So it's having a triangular
roof on the topmost portion, and then you can add two
vertical lines to add the walls. Now we're going to add a nice plantation in the
right hand side. So I'll be using my marker and I'll be adding this random line, and you just have to create a beautiful outline
of the entire plant. I'll be adding a
simple vertical line above the triangular
roof as well. Now, once we are done
with the outline, we are going to
add a noise cutout that you can consider
as a door or a window. So you just have to draw
a semicircular shape on the topmost portion, followed by two vertical
and one horizontal line. Similarly, you can add this similar cutout on the smaller building
element as well, which is having a
triangular roof. So now we are going to cover the entire building element
using a solid black marker. So you just have to start
from the topmost portion, applying these little
small black patches. No need to hurry at all. Try to apply the marker in smaller portions and
cover the entire surface. Make sure that there is
no space left in between. Now, slowly, I'm moving
towards the bottom area, and I'll be very much
careful near the cutout. Make sure that your marker do not enters the outline
of the cutout. So just be very much
careful near that. You can use the tip of
your marker carefully. Now, slowly, we
are going to cover the portion in the
bottom area as well. You can use black watercolor
to paint the entire sellout, but it would be great if you
use a solid black marker. This will give you a nice
saturated solid black color, and it will be really easy and convenient for you to
apply the color also. So you can use any technique
that is convenient to you. Now, slowly, I'll be moving
towards the right hand side. I'm starting with the tower, which is having a
nice triangular roof. I'll be using the
tip of my marker to add solid black color
to the entire surface. Slowly, I'll be moving
towards the bottom area. Be a little bit careful near the cutout and use the
tip of your marker. One thing that I would like
to suggest to you all is that whenever you are
holding a marker or a pen, be a little bit careful by holding it in a very
loose and free manner. No need to make your
hand very much stiff. This will help you
a lot to draw in a very easy and careful manner. It would help you a lot to apply the color in a comfortable
position also. Slowly, I'll be adding the solid black patch
near the plantation also. No need to worry
about the outline. You just have to create it in a very random and natural way. Also, in case you're not that
much confident enough to draw your sell out directly towards your beautiful
abstract background. What you can do is you
can practice it on a rough scrape of
paper initially, and then you can come
towards your final painting. This will help your lot to develop confidence
while drawing, and the chances of making mistakes will be also very less. So you can observe that
we have almost covered the entire sellout of this
beautiful castle wall. Now I'll be using my
marker with a thin tip to add some minute details to the cutouts that
we have created. You can add these
little horizontal lines to make the entire cutout look a little bit
more aesthetic. So you can observe
that we are almost done adding a beautiful
sellout element. Now, let us add some minute
details using our white pen. So I'm starting from
the topmost portion. I'll be adding a simple
horizontal line just below the roof to separate
it from the wall element. In case you find
that the saturation of the white pen is
a little bit less. You can reapply the
stroke as well. I'll be adding minute
details just below the roof. You can add a simple
vertical line to sparate the entire
building structure. It is not at all
compulsory for you to add the details in the exact same
way I'm adding right now. In case you want to
experiment and explore, you can add the details according to your
convenience as well. To enhance the cutout element, I have added the horizontal
lines in the elements that we have added in the cutout and also one horizontal line
on the bottom portion. You can already observe
a beautiful contrast of the white solid lines with the beautiful black background that we have created
for the entire sellout. I'll be adding a little
detail in the roof element. So it's a simple, semicircular shape on the topmost portion, followed by two vertical
and one horizontal line. Okay. If you want to
create a nice solid patch, you can add these
little strokes. Then we're going to add white lines in the remaining portion of the entire sellout. Add a little window on
the right hand side, and simply add these
little strokes to make it completely white. So basically, adding details, it's a combination of
horizontal and vertical lines. And wherever you want
to have a solid form, you can just apply some
strokes inside it. I'll be enhancing
the elements in the second building
structure as well, which is just on the
right hand side. You can also add these
little strokes near the plantation to enhance
the entire sellout. No need to hurry at
all. Take your time and add these minute details. Also, no need to
worry about adding the details in the exact same
way I'm drawing right now. You can add the details according to your
convenience as well. I'm adding these little windows by creating these
rectangular shapes. Now you can already observe
a beautiful contrast of the abstract background that we created initially
using watercolors, the entire urban sellout, and the solid white lines. So there is a contrast between
all the three elements. Now, I've added a few more horizontal and
vertical lines in between to create
some nice details in the entire
building structure. I'll be just creating these
little circular shapes in the abstract background.
No need to hurry at all. Take your time and just create these little circular shapes. Now, I'll be simply
using my black pen to create some nice random
strokes in the background. It is not at all compulsory that you have to worry
about perfection. Just randomly apply
these solid black lines. Also, in case you want to
avoid these black lines, it is absolutely fine. And we are done with
the entire painting. Now, let me take you a bit so that you can observe all
the details carefully. Using three simple
and easy steps, we have created the
entire painting, a beautiful abstract background, a solid urban element, that is in the form of a
sellout and some minute details using a solid white pen. So I hope that you enjoyed creating this
particular painting. Now let us move towards
the next painting.
11. Painting 6 - The Gate: Hey, every buddy,
you're most welcome to the sixth painting,
which is the gate. So as you can observe,
I'm ready with my sketchbook and all
the art supplies nearby. Now, this time, we
are going to have a different abstract background. We are starting with the
first step which is applying a nice coat of water on the
entire surface of the paper. No need to worry
about perfection. You just have to randomly
apply the water. Now, this time, we are going
to apply deep green and light green together to create a beautiful abstract background. Make a good combination of
water and color together, load your brush with a
good amount of color, and you can observe
that I'm randomly dabbing my brush onto
the paper surface, and you'll see that
the color will automatically spread
on the entire surface. No need to hurry at all. Try to apply the color in a very
slow and steady manner. It's a combination of deep green and light green together, so you can observe that
there is variation in saturation of the color
on the entire surface. You can also dab your brush in the smaller portions
to apply the color. Now you can simply tap
your finger onto the brush to splatter some color around
the entire painting sheet. It's a very fun step, so
you'll definitely enjoy it. Also, no need to
worry about getting an exact abstract background
that I have created. Your background might vary, and it is completely fine. So we are done with the
beautiful background, let it dry for a while. Once your background is dry, now we're going to start
by using our marker. We're going to create
a beautiful outline for the entire urban element. So we're going to start by creating the outline for
the building structure. So I started by creating
a simple horizontal line, followed by two slant
lines on either sides. You can make it a
little bit curve. The outline basically
helps us to get the exact structure
of the urban element. And then we are going to fill in solid black color in
the inner portion. Now, I'll be just adding two vertical lines to complete the entire
building element. No need to hurry at all. Try to draw in a very slow
and steady manner. Slowly, I'll be adding
another slant line connecting with the first
building structure. One thing that I can tell
you is that whenever you're using a marker or
a painting brush also. Always try to keep your hand
very much loose and free. No need to make it very stiff. This will help you a lot
to draw comfortably. Now, I'm adding another molding element on
the right hand side. We have added two
horizontal lines and tiny vertical lines. Then you're going to
add a little bit of plantation in the right
hand side as well. Now, there is going
to be a simple cutout in the main building structure. So I'll be adding two
vertical lines and a simple semicircular shape
on the topmost portion. Then we're going to add a lot of vertical lines in between. So this is how we add some minute details to
the entire structure. Now, we are almost done
creating the outline. We're going to fill in solid black color in the
inner portion. Before that, let me add two
little vertical lines on the topmost portion. No
need to hurry at all. Just try to draw it
with a lot of patients. Also, it is not at all compulsory to draw it
in the exact same way. I'm drawing right now. You can create your own
composition as well. I'll be using my thick
solid black marker basically to add a solid black color to the
entire sellout. So I'm starting from
the topmost portion. We're going to apply
the color slowly. Using the tip of your marker, you can slowly apply it
into smaller portions. You can use a black
watercolor as well in case you want
to paint this allowed, but I would suggest that try
to use a solid black marker. It will be really helpful and comfortable to apply the color. Also, you'll be
able to get a nice, highly saturated
solid black color. So we are done applying solid black color on
the roof structure. Now, let us cover
the building element that is on the left hand side. You can observe the way
I'm moving my marker, and I'm slowly covering
the entire area. While you're applying
the solid black color, make sure that there
is no space left in between because it will
not look that nice. And in case you find that there is any space left in between, you can reapply the
marker on that. In case you're not that
much confident enough to draw the entire sell out directly towards
your final painting, and you do not want to spoil your beautiful
abstract background. What you can do is you
can practice it on a rough scrape of
paper initially. And then you can come
towards your final painting. This will help you a lot to develop confidence
while drawing, and the chances of making
mistakes will be very less. So you can observe
that I'm applying the marker in the
bottom portion also. I have left some
space in between. Now let us add the
solid black color in the bushes that
we have drawn in the right hanside There is
a nice fence element in the topmost portion and the entire portion in the bottom part is going
to be solid black. No need to hurry at all. Try to apply the color in a very
slow and steady manner. We are done with the
entire sellout and we have applied a beautiful
solid black color to the entire
building structure. Now, to make the sellout of the entire plantation in
the right hand portion, you can add these little
strokes on the outline. Also, in case you want to create your own composition
of the entire sellout by placing the elements in your own way that
is completely fine. You are free to explore
and experiment. I'll be using my
white pen to add minute details to
the entire sellout. You're starting from
the topmost portion, which is the roof element. I'll be adding a simple
horizontal line. In case you find that the saturation of your white
pen is a little bit less, then you can reapply
these strokes as well. So I've added a few
more horizontal lines to enhance the
entire roof element. And in order to add
some minute details, you can just draw these
little rectangular shapes just below the roof element. You can already observe a beautiful contrast of the solid white lines with
the black background. I'll be adding vertical lines to just enhance the entire
building structure. It is not at all
compulsory for you to add the solid white details in the exact same way I'm
drawing right now. In case you want to
add the details, according to your convenience, it is absolutely fine. Now, slowly, I'm moving towards the left hand side where we have this little
building structure. You can add some nice little
windows in rectangular form. You can also add some windows, having a simple
semicircular shape on the topmost portion and followed by two vertical lines
and one horizontal line. Now, just below the entire huge cutout
that we have created, having some vertical
lines in it. You can enhance the
vertical lines by adding some nice
solid white lines, and then below that, you can add one more horizontal line. No need to hurry at all. Try to draw it with
a lot of patience. Always try to keep your
hand very much loose and free whenever you're
using a pen or a brush. This will help you a
lot to draw with a lot of patience and your hand
won't shiver at all. In case you find that adding these minute details is
a little bit difficult. Then what you can do
is you can practice it on a rough scrape
of paper initially, and then you can come
towards your final painting. This will help you a lot to
develop confidence while drawing and the chances of making mistakes
will be very less. Now, in order to enhance the building structure in
the right hand side as well, just below the plantation, I have added few horizontal
and vertical lines together, and to make it a
little bit in depth, you can add few little
strokes inside that. It's a very simple
and easy technique, and no need to worry
about drawing it in the exact same way
and about perfection. You can just enjoy
the process and add the details according to
your convenience as well. So as you can observe,
we are done adding minute details using
our white pen. I'll be using my black
pen with a thin tip, and I'll be adding these
little random strokes to make the entire painting look a little bit more
aesthetic and classic. You can observe the way
I'm moving my black pen. This particular step is not
at all compulsory to do. In case you want to do it, it is absolutely fine. And in case you want to
skip this particular step, that is also absolutely okay. Now, simply, I'll be adding these beautiful circular shapes in the abstract background, using my white pen in a very random and natural manner only. And now comes the last step, which is adding a little
text in the entire painting. So I'm going to write urban
sketching using my black pen. In case you want to write any other message according
to your convenience, it is absolutely fine. No need to worry about that.
No need to hurry at all. Try to write the message in
a slow and steady manner. And we are done with
the entire painting. Now let me take you a
little bit closer so that you can observe all
the details carefully. You can observe that
using three basic steps, we have created the
entire painting. I hope that you enjoyed creating this particular painting and
got to learn something new. Enjoy the process and don't
worry about the output. Now let us move towards
the next painting.
12. Painting 7 - The Towers: Hey, everybody, you're
most welcome to the seventh painting,
which is the Towers. As you can observe,
I'm ready with my sketchbook and all
the art supplies nearby. We are starting with
the first step, which is applying a
nice coat of water on the entire surface of the
paper. No need to hurry at all. Apply some water in a
good amount and make sure that the coat of water should not dry before
we apply color. I'll be taking my
quill brush and we're going to take some good
amount of deep green, fold your brush with a
lot of color and water. Then just simply dab your brush onto the
paper surface and you'll find that the color will automatically spread
on the entire surface. No need to hurry
at all. Try to do this particular step in a
very slow and steady manner. You can use the tip of
your quill brush to apply the color in
smaller portions also. You can observe that
there is variation in saturation of the color
in certain areas. So no need to worry
about getting an exact same
abstract background. The way I'm painting right now, your abstract
background might vary, and it might have a
little bit of difference, and it is absolutely fine. In case you want to combine your deep green with a
little bit of light green, that is also absolutely fine. So we are done
applying the color. Now, we are going to
splatter some color so that we can get a
nice abstract effect. You just have to tap
your finger onto the brush and just observe
that the color will splatter on the paper surface
in a very natural manner. So we are done with
the entire background. Now, let the background
dry for a while. Once the background is dry, we are going to
start by creating a beautiful urban element
into the entire sketch book. So I'll be starting with
the topmost portion. We are going to have two towers. So I'm starting with
a triangular roof. You can observe that using
the tip of my marker, which is having a nice thin tip, I have created a beautiful
triangular shape, followed by two vertical
lines on either sides, then you can complete it by
another horizontal line, followed by another
two vertical lines. So it's a simple structure, creating a beautiful tower. Similarly, there is going
to be another tower, but it is going to be a
little bit less in altitude. So again, you have to start by creating a beautiful
triangular shape. No need to hurry at all. Try to draw it with a lot of patients. Try to draw slow and steady. Now again, we are
going to complete the second tower by adding
a few more vertical lines. One thing that I can
tell you is that whenever you are using
a brush or a marker, always try to keep your hand
very much loose and free. No need to make it stiff. This will help you a lot to draw in a very
comfortable manner. Initially, we are creating the outline of the
entire urban element, and then we are going to fill in solid black color in
the inner portion. So I've connected the towers with a nice building element. And similarly, I'll be adding a few more building elements
in the left hand portion. You can observe that
we have created a nice beautiful
building structure. Now, let us add some
nice plantation in the right hand side. It's a very simple
and easy technique. You just have to randomly move your marker in this manner. No need to worry about drawing
it in the exact same way. You can randomly
apply the strokes. Now, I'll be adding a
nice window element in the building structure. It is having a semicircular
shape on the topmost portion, and you can complete
it by getting a nice horizontal line
in the bottom part. We can also add a
nice fence element. It's a combination of horizontal
and vertical line only. Now, using my thick
black marker, we are going to apply a nice solid black color to the entire
building structure. No need to hurry at all. Use the tip of your
marker and slowly start applying the color
from the topmost portion. I'm starting from the towers, slowly moving towards
the bottom portion. You can observe
the way I'm moving my marker in the
vertical direction. You can use black water colors. It is fine, but in case
you want to get a nice, highly saturated
solid black color. It would be better if you
use a solid black marker. This will give you a nice
saturated black color, and it will be also
very easy to apply. Now, slowly, I'll be
completing the entire area. Just make sure that you do not apply the marker
inside the windows. So be a little bit careful
near that particular area. Now, I'll be covering
the remaining portion. You can observe the movement of my marker. No need
to hurry at all. In case you find that there
is any space left in between. You can reapply
the black strokes. Now, similarly, I'll be covering the plantation in the
right inside as well. Slowly, I'll be adding this
beautiful black color. And we are almost done applying a beautiful
solid black pach. In case you want to practice the entire sellout on a rough
scrape of paper initially, and then you want to come
towards your final painting. That is absolutely fine. This will help a lot to
develop confidence while drawing and the chances of making mistakes
will be very less. Now, using my black
marker, having a thin tip, I'm just defining
the plantation, applying these little
strokes in the outline. We can also add a nice
vertical line on the towers. So as you can observe
that we are done creating a beautiful sellout of the
entire building structure. I'll be using my simple
black pen to add some random strokes to make the entire painting look a
little bit more classic. It's not at all compulsory to do this particular step in case you want to add these
random strokes, then it is completely fine. So now you can observe that we are done with the
entire sellout. Let us add some minute
details using white pen. So you can observe that I'm starting from the
left hand portion, adding a horizontal line
just below the roof. You can add these minute
details like smaller windows. It's not at all difficult. You just have to draw
a rectangular shape. Then I'll be adding a
nice horizontal line just below the fence element
that we have created. You can observe a
beautiful contrast between white lines and the solid black color that
we have applied. In order to enhance the
entire building structure. I have added two vertical lines, and you can fill in
these little strokes. It is not at all
compulsory for you to add the details in the exact same
way I'm drawing right now. In case you want to
add the details in your own way and create
your own composition. It is absolutely fine. No need to hurry at all. You can just apply these
random strokes near the plantation as well to
enhance the entire painting. You can observe the way I'm adding these little
windows also. Now I'll be adding a
simple horizontal line and two vertical lines in the bottom portion to
add few more details. If you're drawing
with a white pen, always try to keep
your hand very much loose and free. No
need to make it stiff. This will help you a lot to
draw in a comfortable manner, and your hand won't
shiver at all. Now, let us add some minute
details in the towers also. So I'm just adding
these horizontal lines in the triangular roof. You can observe how beautiful these minute details
are looking, and then we can add a
nice horizontal line in the bottom portion as well. To make the towers look a
little bit more aesthetic, we can add these
little windows also. So we are almost done adding these beautiful minute details to the entire urban element. You can observe a
beautiful contrast of the nice white lines and
a solid black background. You can add these
little circular shapes in the abstract background also. In case you find
that the saturation of your white pen
is a little less, then you can reapply
these strokes as well. Now, let us add some nice
text to the entire painting. I'm writing urban sketching. In case you want to
add any other message, it is absolutely fine. You can write it according
to your convenience. So we are done with
the entire painting. Let me take you a
little bit closer so that you can observe all
the details carefully. I hope that you enjoyed creating this
particular painting. Using three basic steps, we completed the
entire painting. No need to worry
about the output. Just enjoy the process. You are free to
experiment and explore. Now let us move towards
the next painting.
13. Painting 8 - The Dome: Hey, everybody, you're
most welcome to the eighth painting,
which is the dome. So as you can observe,
I'm ready with my sketchbook and all
the art supplies nearby. I'll be using my quill
brush of size two, and we're going to
apply a coat of water on the entire
surface of the paper. Take some good quantity
of water and apply a coat on the entire surface in a very random manner only. Make sure that your
water coat does not dries before we
apply the color. I'll be just taking
some deep green and light green together
in my quill brush, Slod your brush with a
lot of color and water, try to make a good
composition of both of them and just simply dab your
brush in this random manner, and you'll observe
that the color will automatically spread on
the entire paper surface. This is basically known
as a wet on wet technique in which we apply a thin
coat of water initially, and then we apply the color. You can observe the
way the color is naturally getting spreaded
on the entire paper surface. In case you find that your color is getting finished
from the brush, then you can take
some more color from the color palette and
you can reapply it. You can also dab the
brush using the tip of your brush to get this
smaller patches of the color. Now, once we are done applying a beautiful abstract background, you can simply take
some more color and just tap your finger
onto the brush to splatter the color
in the outer portion of the entire color patch. No need to hurry at all.
It's a very fun step, and no need to
worry about getting an exact abstract background
that I have created. Yours might vary from mine, and there might be a
little bit of difference, and it is absolutely fine. Now, let the background
dry for a while, and I'll be using my black
marker with a thin tip, which is basically
a calligraphy pen. You can use any other
good alternative as well to create the outline
of the entire urban element. So I'm starting with a
beautiful semicircular shape, which is a huge dome basically. You can add a nice patch of solid black color in
the topmost portion, connecting it with a small semicircular shape
and a vertical line. Then you can complete the
entire semicircular shape by adding another horizontal
line in the bottom portion, followed by two vertical
lines on either sides. In case it might sound
a little bit confusing. Just simply observe
and follow the steps. I'm connecting another
simple semicircular shape on the left hand portion, followed by a simple
vertical line. So we are basically creating the outline of the entire
building element initially, and then we are going to fill in solid black color in
the inner portion. Now, let us add a few
more building elements in the right hand side as well. So I've started with a
small semicircular shape followed by some
nice vertical lines. No need to worry
about drawing it in the exact same way I'm
drawing right now. In case you want to create your own composition of
the entire urban element, it is absolutely fine. You're free to explore. One
thing that I can tell you is that whenever
you're drawing using a marker or, in fact,
you're painting, using a brush, always try to keep your hand very
much loose and free so that you can apply the color in a very
comfortable manner. Now, I'll be using
my thick marker, and I'll be applying solid black color to
the entire structure. You can observe the way
I'm moving my marker. They are applying the color in smaller portions by just applying it in
vertical direction. Now, in the entire tower, we are going to apply
solid black color. I have left some
space in between in case you want to. You
can definitely do that. No need to hurry
at all. Just apply the color in a slow
and steady manner. You can already observe
a beautiful contrast of this solid black color with the abstract background that we have created in
the background. I'll simply move towards the right hand side and slowly cover the
entire area as well. While using a thick marker, you can always make sure
that you use the tip of the marker wherever there are smaller portions to
apply the color. So now you can observe that I have completed the
entire sill out. Now let us add some plantation
in the left hand portion. I'll be using my marker
with a thin tip, and you just have to randomly apply the line in this format. Now, once you have
drawn the entire line, we're going to fill in solid black color in the
remaining portion. I'll be again using
my thick marker. You're going to start
from the topmost portion and slowly we'll be covering the entire area.
No need to hurry at all. Just try to apply the
solid black color in a slow and steady manner. You can observe
the way I'm adding this beautiful
solid black patch. You can connect it
with the sellout that we have created in
the bottom portion. So now there is a
good combination of some plantation in
the left hand side, a beautiful building element in the right hand side as well. In case you want to create
your own composition and want to place the elements according to your convenience. That is completely fine.
You're free to explore. So to define the entire
plantation a little bit better and to make the outline look a little bit
more aesthetic. You can use your thin marker and apply these little
strokes around. You can observe that we are
almost done with the sellout connecting it with the urban element in the bottom portion. I'll be just using
my simple black pen to add some random strokes. It's a very simple
and easy technique. You just have to
take your black pen and apply these strokes
in a random manner. Now, let us add minute
details using our white pen. Okay. So I'm basically starting
from the topmost portion, adding these little
horizontal lines. Now to enhance the dome, you can just add
these curved lines. No need to hurry
at all. Try to add the details in a very
slow and steady manner. You can observe the
way I have connected the entire roof with this
beautiful horizontal line. In case you find
that the white color that you're applying
is less in saturation, you can reapply the
strokes on that to increase the
saturation of the color. You can add these little
rectangular shapes to the bottom of your
horizontal line to add some minute details
to the entire painting and to make the entire painting look a little bit
more aesthetic. It is not at all
compulsory for you to add the white details in the same
way I'm drawing right now. In case you want to explore and experiment with the details,
you're free to do that. So you can definitely add the details according
to your convenience. I'll be adding some
minute details in the building element that is on the right hand side as well, combining it with these
little curved strokes and these little windows. You can already observe
a beautiful contrast of the white lines with the solid black background that
we have created. You can also add these
minute details by creating these little strokes just
below the horizontal lines. One thing that I can
tell you is that whenever you're using
a pen or a brush, always try to keep your hand
very much loose and free. No need to make it
very much stiff. This will help your lot to
draw in a comfortable manner. Also, in case you're not that much confident enough to add the details using your white pen directly towards your painting. What you can do is you
can practice it on a rough scrape of
paper initially, and then you can come
towards your final painting. This will help your lot to develop confidence
while painting, and the chances of making
mistakes will be very less. So in the main
building structure where we have the huge dome, I have added a big window, having a semicircular shape
on the topmost portion, combined it with two vertical
and horizontal lines, and you can add a
few more strokes to make it completely white. Now, I will randomly apply
these circular shapes in the abstract background
using my white pen to make it look a little bit more
aesthetic and attractive. So we are almost done adding minute details using
our white pen. Now, let us add some text
to the entire painting. So I'll be using my black pen, and we are going to
write urban sketching in case you want to
write any message according to your convenience. It is absolutely fine. So we are done with
the entire painting. Let me take you a little
bit closer so that you can observe all
the details carefully. You can observe that
using three basic steps, we have completed
the entire painting. No need to worry
about the output. Just enjoy the process, and you're free to
explore and experiment. I hope that you enjoyed creating this particular painting and
got to learn something new. Now let us move towards
the next painting.
14. Painting 9 - The Gate House: Hey, everybody, you're most welcome to the ninth painting, which I have named
as Gate House. So as you can observe,
I'm ready with my sketchbook and all
the art supplies nearby. I'll be using my quill
brush of size two, and we're going to
apply a nice coat of water on the entire
surface of the paper. No need to hurry at all. Just take some good amount
of water and make sure that the coat does not dry
before we apply the color. Now, using the same quill brush, make a good combination of deep green and light
green together. Load your brush with
a lot of color and simply dab it onto
the paper surface. You will observe
that the color will automatically spread on
the entire paper surface. And this is basically known as a wet on wet
technique in which we apply a nice coat of water
initially and then color. You can use this particular technique wherever you want to create any abstract effect
using water colors. Slowly, I'll be
applying the color in the bottom portion as well. In case you find that your color is getting finished
from the brush, you can definitely take
some more color from the brush and apply it in
the remaining surface. No need to hurry at all, try to do it in a very slow
and steady manner. Now, we are going to
splatter some color, so just simply tap your finger
onto the brush and you'll observe that the
color will splatter on the surface of the paper. It's a very fun and easy step. No need to worry about getting an exact abstract background
the way I have created, your background might
vary from mine, and it is absolutely fine. Now, once we are done with
the abstract background, let it dry for a while. Now, once your
background is dry, we can start by creating the outline of the
entire urban element, which is the entire
building structure. So I'm starting by creating
a beautiful triangular roof. So it's a simple
triangular shape, followed by two vertical lines. No need to hurry at all. Try to draw it in a very slow
and steady manner. Then similarly,
we're going to add two more vertical lines to increase the height of
the entire structure. There is going to be a nice triangular roof in
the bottom portion. So we're going to
add two slant lines connected to the
first structure. So we can consider the
bottom structure as a house, and you can add two
more vertical lines to complete the entire
building structure. Now, there is going to
be a nice plantation in the right hand portion, so you just have to
randomly create an outline. You can similarly
add a nice bush in the left hand
portion as well, and we can add two
little towers connecting to one of the slant roofs
in the left hand portion. You can observe the way
I'm using the tip of my marker to create this
beautiful building structure. One thing that I can
tell you is that whenever you are drawing
or painting using a brush, always make sure that
you hold your pen or brush in a very
comfortable manner. You have to keep your hand
very much loose and free. Now, we are going
to add few windows in the entire
building structure. So I've added a small
semicircular shape on the topmost portion, followed by two vertical
and one horizontal line. And in this particular area, we are not going to fill
in solid black color. So now I'll be using
my thick black marker, and we are starting from
the topmost portion. You can observe the
movement of my marker. It's a simple vertical movement. Slowly apply it in
the entire area, and you can observe the way it is converting into
a beautiful fill. No need to hurry at
all. Try to apply the marker in a very
slow and steady manner. To paint this sill outt, you can also use black watercolor, but it would be really
great if you use a marker. It will be more comfortable
and it will be more easy for you to apply
the solid black color. And it will also be a little bit more saturated
than watercolor. You can already observe
a beautiful contrast of the solid black color with the abstract background
that we have created. Whenever you're using
a pen or a brush, always make sure that you keep your hand very much
loose and free. Also, in case you're not
that much confident enough to draw the sellout directly
towards your final painting, and you do not want to spoil your beautiful
abstract background. What you can do is
you can practice it on a rough scrape
of paper initially, and then you can come
towards your final painting. This will help your lot to
develop confidence while drawing and the chances of making mistakes
will be very less. Now you can observe that I have completed the entire sellout
of the building structure. Now I'll be using a
simple black pen to add these random strokes
around the painting. It is not at all compulsory to add this particular
step in case you want to make it look
a little bit more abstract and classic.
You can do that. I'll be using my
white pen to add some minute details to
the entire painting. We are starting from
the topmost portion where we have this
beautiful triangular roof. I'll just add a simple
horizontal line. And then we are
going to follow by adding vertical and
horizontal lines together. I'm also going to add
these little windows, which is going to enhance the
entire building structure. You can already observe
a beautiful contrast of the solid white color with the black background
that we have created. No need to hurry at all. Try to draw it with a lot of patients. Also, no need to worry
about drawing it in the exact same way
I'm drawing right now. You can add the details according to your
convenience as well. It is completely fine. So you can carefully
observe the way I have created a nice triangular roof in the house element as well. You can add these minute
details by creating these little strokes just
below the horizontal line. This particular part of adding minute details using a white
pen is really exciting, and you'll definitely
enjoy the process. Also, in case you're not that much confident enough to add the white pen details directly towards
your final sell out. What you can do is you
can practice it on a rough scrape of
paper initially. And then you can come
towards your final painting. This will help your a lot
to develop confidence while drawing and the chances of making mistakes
will be very less. If you observe carefully, it's a combination of horizontal
and vertical lines only. You just have to match them and create these
beautiful details. And let me tell you one thing, that no need to worry
about perfection. It is absolutely fine. You can just randomly
create these strokes. I'll be adding a few more random strokes near
the plantation, and you can add these
little circular shapes in the abstract background
using your white pen only. And we are done adding manu
details using our white pen. I'll be using my black pen to add some text to the
entire painting. I'm going to write
urban sketching. You can write any message
according to your convenience. It is absolutely fine. So we are done with
the entire painting. Let me take you a little
bit closer so that you can observe all
the details carefully. In case you find
that the saturation of your white pen is
a little bit less. You can reapply these strokes. It is absolutely fine. I hope that you enjoyed creating this particular painting and
got to learn something new. No need to worry
about the output. You're free to explore
and experiment. Now let us move towards
the next painting.
15. Painting 10 - Curtain Wall: Hey, everybody, you're most welcome to the tenth painting, which is the last class project, which I have named
as curtain wall. So I'm ready with my sketchbook. We are going to start
with the first step, which is applying a nice coat of water on the entire
paper surface. No need to hurry at all,
take some good amount of water and apply it in
this random manner only. Now, we are going to take some deep green and light
green together, load your brush with
both the colors, and then simply dab your
brush onto the paper surface. You'll observe that
the color will automatically spread on
the entire paper surface. And this is basically known as a wet on wet technique in which we apply a nice coat of water
initially, and then color. You can observe the way
the color is spreading, and it is also a very fun part. No need to hurry
at all. Try to do this particular step in a
slow and steady manner. In case you find that your color is getting finished
from the brush, you can definitely
take some more color from the color palette. If you observe carefully, there is a different
saturation of the color in all the portion. And it is absolutely
fine since we want to create a beautiful
abstract background. Make a good composition of
water and color together and simply tap your finger
onto the brush and splatter the color on
the remaining surface. No need to worry about getting an abstract background
completely similar to mine. Your background might vary, and it might have a
little bit of difference, and it is completely fine. Now, let the background
dry for a while. Once your background is dry, you can use your marker, which is basically a solid
black marker with a thin tip, and we're going to start
from the topmost portion. This time, the
building structure is going to be a
little bit bigger. So I'm starting by creating two vertical lines followed
by one horizontal line. There is going to be a nice roof that we are going to create
using the marker directly. So you can observe that I'm starting by creating
the outline first, and then we are going to fill in solid black color in
the inner portion. I have added two
vertical lines on either sides to complete
the building structure. So if you observe carefully, it's a combination of vertical and horizontal lines together. If required, you can add some slant lines
also in between. If you want certain spaces to
not have solid black color, you can definitely draw
its outline initially. Whenever you're using
a sketch pen or a pen, or even a brush, make sure that you keep your hand
very much loose and free. No need to make it
very much stiff. This will help you a lot to draw and paint in a very
comfortable manner. So I've added a
nice bush element, which is a part of a plantation
on the left hand side, connected with the entire
building structure. Now there are going to be
these little three cutouts, which is a part of
the window where we are not going to apply
solid black color. So you can create its
outline initially only. I'll be using my
solid black marker with a thick tip to apply a solid black color to the entire building element.
No need to hurry at all. You can observe that I'm
applying the black color in smaller portions and
completing the entire sellout. In case there is any space left in between the
entire sellout. You can definitely reapply the
strokes using your marker. You can also use
black watercolor to apply black color to
the entire sellout, but it would be better
if you use a marker. This will give you a
higher saturated color. And it will be also more
comfortable for you to apply solid black color using
this nice thick marker. So you can observe
that I'm adding the black color in the
building structure as well. Be a little bit careful
near the windows. You can use the
tip of your marker to apply the color
in smaller area. Slowly, I'm going to
cover the entire area, and in the bottom portion, I'm just leaving the strokes
in a random manner only. In case you're not that much
confident enough to paint or draw the entire sellout directly towards
your final painting, and you do not want to spoil your beautiful
abstract background. What you can do is
you can practice it on a rough scrape
of paper initially, and then you can come
towards your final painting. This will help your
lot to develop confidence while
drawing and painting, and the chances of making
mistakes will be very less. You can observe
carefully that I left three beautiful rectangular
spaces in between, using my marker directly only, and it's a very abstract
and random move. So no need to worry
about perfection. I'll be using my
black pen to add these random strokes around
the entire sill out. To make this lout look a little bit more aesthetic and elegant. Now, we are going to use our white pen to add
some minute details. So I'm going to start by adding these little circular
shapes in the background, and then you can start with the building structure by adding these little
horizontal line. I'm starting from
the topmost portion, you can add little strokes
to add minute details. If you observe carefully, it is a combination
of horizontal and vertical lines together. To enhance the windows, you can add one single
vertical stroke on one side of the
entire window. Adding these beautiful
minute details to the entire structure will
enhance the entire painting. You can also observe
a nice contrast of the solid white line
that we are creating. In case you find that
the saturation of the solid white line
is a little bit less. You can reapply the strokes. It is completely
fine. Now, slowly, I'm moving towards
the bottom area, adding horizontal and
vertical lines together. A curtain wall is basically
a part of a castle only where you have a lot
of openings and cutouts, as you can observe in
this particular painting. So we have left a lot of
rectangular spaces in between. We are adding these
little windows also. One thing that I would
like to tell you all is that no need
to worry about adding the details in the
exact same way I'm adding or drawing right now. You can create and explore according to your
convenience as well. So in case you want
to add the details, according to your way,
it is completely fine. Also in case you want to experiment with the
entire sellout, which we have created
using solid black color. That is also completely fine. I'm adding a beautiful window in the bottom portion,
having a small, semicircular shape
on the top and followed by two vertical
and one horizontal line. You can add a little
bit of depth by adding a few more strokes
in certain areas. We are almost done adding
a few minor details. I'll be adding a
few more details in the bottom right corner. In case you find that
the saturation of the white color is a little bit less on the solid black surface. You can definitely reapply
the white strokes. It is completely fine. So we are done adding beautiful
details using white pen. You can add these little
circular shapes in the abstract background to
create some more aesthetics. Now I'll be using my black
pen to add some text. I'm going to write
urban sketching. You can write any message
according to your convenience. It is completely fine. And we are done with the
entire painting. Let me take you a little
bit closer so that you can observe all
the details carefully. This is our tenth and last
painting of the entire class. I hope that you enjoyed creating this particular painting and
got to learn something new. No need to worry
about the output. Just enjoy the process. Now, let us move
towards the next part.
16. Class Conclusion: Hey, every buddy. I
hope that you enjoyed the entire class and got
to learn something new. While I was creating
this particular class, I made number of mistakes, and that is something
that I always tell my students never to be
afraid of making mistakes. It is a part of learning. I would be really excited to see all of your class projects. So feel free to ask any questions or doubts
you have related to the class and do not forget to add your projects to
the project gallery. I would be really excited to see all of your work as well. One thing that I would
like to tell you all is that no need to worry about painting it in the exact
same way I have painted. You are free to
experiment and explore. You can create your own
compositions as well. It would be really great if you leave a review for
the class as it encourages me a lot and my class can reach many
more students like you. At the end, I would like to say, keep learning, keep practicing. Thank you so much for joining the class and happy painting.
