8 Days of Urban Sketching on Brown Paper

1. Welcome to the Class: When we talk about sketching, it's an art style in which you do not have to worry about perfection. The first step before we start painting is always sketching. In this class, we are going to have eight days of urban sketching on a brown paper. Using simple and easy painting techniques, we're going to create eight beautiful paintings, which will be having an achromatic color scheme. All over, it's an eight days art journey. Everybody, myself, Ruth Patel. I'm a self taught independent artist and an interior designer by profession. I personally love to explore different art forms and styles and not stick to one particular thing. If you're joining me, you'll find a variety of classes that I create. There are going to be eight different building elements that we are going to convert into paintings. Before we start with the class, I'll be giving you the details about the class projects that we are going to create. We are going to talk about all the art supplies that you will need for the entire class. No need to worry at all. You'll find all the art supplies very easily in any nearby local art store. Or you can go for any other good alternative as well. Before we start with the class projects, I'll be giving you a simple practice session in which I'll be showing you how to use black pens and markers to apply a nice inking to the entire sketch. We are going to talk about the color palette that we are going to use. There is going to be a simple warm up exercise, which will help you a lot to work with your strokes. The practice sheet will help you a lot to develop confidence while painting, and the chances of making mistakes will be very less. The different part about the class is that we are not going to use a regular white paper. We're going to use a beautiful brown paper. In each and every class project, there are three basic steps. The first step is basic sketching using a simple pencil. Then we are going to apply a black marker to create the outline of the entire sketch. The last step is enhancing the entire sketch by applying colors and a beautiful background to the entire sketch. There are going to be rough and random strokes that we are going to apply using a black pen. Using a solid black marker, we are going to apply a beautiful black abstract background. We are going to splatter some colors randomly. And by the end of the class, you'll be having eight beautiful paintings based on urban sketching. The class is absolutely suited for beginners and also intermediate and advanced level artists can try it. Without any delay, grab your art supplies, and join me on this creative journey. 2. Details About the Class Projects: Hey, everybody. Before we start with the class, let me give you the details about the class projects that we are going to create. There are going to be eight beautiful paintings based on urban sketching. One thing that I would like to tell you all is that, no need to worry about creating the projects in the exact same way I have created. You're free to explore and experiment, so no need to worry about the output. Just enjoy the process of creating. One thing which is a little bit different about the class is that we are not going to use a white paper. Instead of a white paper, we are going to use a brown paper in which you can observe that we have created eight beautiful paintings based on urban sketching. There is going to be a simple achromatic color scheme, which includes black and white color, as you can observe. Now, let us talk about the class projects one by one. So here is one of the class projects, which is the castle. You can observe all its details carefully. There are these basic elements based on a castle with a lot of abstract elements. Then we have the dome. You can observe a beautiful dome as a center element and a lot of abstract elements in the background. If you observe carefully, there is no perfection in any of the class project. There is a lot of abstract and rough sketching. Then we have another class project, which is the building. Then we have the next class project, which is the backyard. The achromatic color scheme basically creates a connection between all the eight paintings. Then I have another class project, which is the window with a lot of details in it. These elements are not at all difficult to create. It's a very simple and easy technique. Then I have the door, which is another class project that we're going to create. You can observe all the details carefully in the background and the foreground as well. Then I have the next class project, which is a vintage house. You can observe the elements and a beautiful abstract background. Then I have the last class project, which is the tower. These are all the eight class projects that we are going to create. No need to worry about getting an exact output. Just enjoy the process of creating. Now let us move towards the next part. 3. Art Supplies: Hey, everybody. Now let us talk 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, or you can go for any other good alternative as well. So the first art supply is a simple color palette. You can observe there are already colors in it. Just make sure that you have enough space to take out colors and mix them well. Then we have the next art supply, which is a simple glass container in which I'm having some water, which we are going to use to mix the colors well and use it wherever required, also to clean the brushes. Now comes the important art supply, which is the brushes that we're going to use. So these are two basic round brushes. The first one is a round brush of size three that we're going to use. In case you do not have a size three brush, you can definitely use a size seven round brush as well. It is completely fine. These are the two brushes that you will need for the entire class. Then I have a simple pencil that we're going to use to create a basic sketch before we start applying the ink to the entire sketch. Then the next art supply is a simple tissue paper that we are going to keep nearby while we are painting so that we can remove axis amount of water from the brush. Now, let us talk about the markers and the black pens that we are going to use. No need to worry about the brands. Just observe the details, and you can go for any other good alternative as well. So the first one is a simple black pen that I'm using, which is having a very thin tip, which we are going to use to apply some random strokes to the entire sketch. So it's basically a simple black pen. Then I have another marker, which is a little bit thicker than the black pen. So it's basically a black marker from Faber Castle. You can observe the tip of the marker and you can go for any other good alternative as well. Then I have a calligraphy pen as you can observe. So it is going to have a nice tip which we are going to use to apply an outline to the entire pencil sketch. It's from Art line and you can go for any other good alternative as well. And then I have the last marker, which is a very thick marker from Faber Castle. Let me show you the tip as well. It's having a nice thick tip, which we are going to use to apply a nice solid black background in all the class projects. These are all the markers and pens that we are going to use. Now comes the next art supply, which is the brown paper. You can already observe two of our class projects, and it is basically an A six size. So we are going to simply use a A five size paper, and we're going to cut it into two equal halves. So let me give you the details about the brown paper as well. So these are basically the brown papers that I'm using. It is one eight GSM, A five size acid free papers. You will find it very easily in any nearby local art store. You can observe the rectangular sheet that we are going to convert into two equal halves. So this is the brown paper that we are going to use. It is not at all compulsory to create the class project in an A six size paper only. You can have a variation in the size, and it is absolutely fine. You can just observe the details carefully and follow the painting process. Now comes the next art supply, which is the colors that we are going to use. So I'll be using only two colors, which is basically poster colors, and it is black and white. It will give us a noise mat finish once the color is completely dry. In case you want to go for gouache colors, that is also absolutely fine. Now comes the next art supply, which is a simple eraser and a sharpener. In case you want to sharpen your pencil or erase your sketch wherever required, you can use this particular art supply. Then next up, I'm having a simple masking tape. You can observe it's a simple masking tape that we're going to use to place the paper onto the desk surface so that it will not move while we are painting or drawing. There are going to be eight class projects that we're going to create on the brown paper. And 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: Hey, everybody. Now, let us talk about the color palette that we're going to use in all the eight class projects. I'm having a simple brown sheet right in front of you and two of the class projects. If you observe carefully, there is a nice combination of black and white colors together. And apart from that, there are a lot of strokes that you can observe using a black ink and a black pen. So let's talk about that first. So this is the first pen that I'm using, which is a simple black pen. It is having a very thin tip, and you can just apply its strokes on the paper so that you can get an exact idea of the thickness of the tip. So you can observe a thin black line that we are going to use in the entire sketch. Then we have another marker, which is a little bit thicker than the first one. You just have to scribble it onto the paper so that you can observe the thickness of this particular marker as well. Then next up, I have my calligraphy pen, which is very near to the second marker. We're going to use this particular pen to give an outline to the entire pencil sketch. You can observe a nice vibrant black color. Then I have the last thick marker, which is having a thick tip and a solid black color, which we are going to use to apply in the background. So you can observe a nice variation in all the inks, and we're going to use it in the entire sketch. We have different thickness of all the four pens. Now, let us talk about the color palette. If you observe carefully, there are two basic colors black and white placed on the desk surface. These are basically poster colors. In case you want to use guash colors, it is completely fine. So I'll be taking the first color in the color palette. You might not be able to see the color properly because the color palette is also white. Just take a nice combination of water and color together and apply a small patch of the color onto the brown paper. So you can observe a nice white vibrant color onto the brown sheet. Now, we are going to create a combination of black and white together just to show you a shade of a particular color. And it is basically creating a nice gray shade. So it is basically a combination of black and white color together. We have black less and white more. I'll be applying the solid black color onto the paper surface, take some solid black color in the color palette, make a good combination of water and color together and apply a small patch. Now, similarly, we are going to add another gray shade by adding a little bit of white in it. So it is basically going to be a dark gray shade. We are only going to use black and white. I'm just showing you the color combination, which is basically a part of an chromatic color scheme. In case you want to incorporate a gray shade, it is completely fine. So this is the entire color palette that we're going to use. I hope that you've got an exact idea. Now let us move towards the next part. 5. Lets Practice the Elements: Hey, everybody. So before we start with the class projects, let us have a simple practice session in which we are going to learn about all the elements and how to paint them in detail. The practice sheet will help you a lot to develop confidence while painting, and the chances of making mistakes will be very less. So I'll be using a simple pencil, and I'm starting with a basic sketch. I've created a simple rectangular shape and a semicircular shape on that. You can simply observe and follow the steps carefully. So it is basically a nice dome shape, and I'm creating another dome shape, which is a little bit smaller than the first one. Then we have a nice rectangular shape in the right hand side. You can add these little smaller windows using a rectangular shape. No need to worry about drawing it in the exact same way I'm drawing right now. You can create your own sketch as well. Now, once we are done with a basic pencil sketch, I'll be using my calligraphy pen, and we're going to add an outline to the entire sketch so that it becomes a little bit more vibrant and creates a nice contrast with the brown background. No need to hurry at all. Try to add the outline in a slow and steady manner. Use the tip of your marker to add this nice thin solid black line. You can observe that there are these minute strokes in between. You can use the tip of your marker carefully. So we are almost done adding a beautiful outline to the entire pencil sketch. And you can already observe a beautiful contrast of the entire sketch. You can add these little rough lines in a very random and natural way to create some classic effect to the entire sketch. Now, once we are done adding a beautiful outline, I'm going to use my black pen with a thin tip to add these minute details, which is basically adding these little strokes in between. So it basically creates some nice details to the entire sketch, and it will look really nice once we apply the color also. If you observe carefully, there is no perfection while adding these strokes. I'm just randomly applying these beautiful strokes to the entire sketch. You can observe that on the topmost portion. It is basically creating some horizontal lines in between. So no need to worry about applying these strokes in the exact same way I'm adding right now. You can do it in your own way as well. So we are done with the entire sketch and applying the ink as well. Now, I'll be taking some solid white color in the color palette. Make a good combination of color and water together. Now we're going to apply it to the entire sketch. Using the tip of my brush, I'm starting from the topmost portion of the dome. You're not going to cover the entire surface of the dome, leave some space in between. You can add these little strokes also. Now, slowly, I'll be moving towards the bottom area by adding these little white patches in between. If you observe carefully, I'm leaving the solid black line because we do not want to cover the outline using the white color. If in case you might apply the brush onto the black lines, it is absolutely fine. We can reapply the strokes. Now, slowly, I'll be covering the wall using my solid white color. If you observe carefully, I'm not covering the entire area. I'm leaving some space in between, and it looks really nice when you leave some space in between. It creates some nice aesthetics and classic effect to the entire sketch. Now, the building structure that we have in the right hand side, you can observe that slowly I'm adding the white colors in between the windows also. Now, similarly, you can add these little strokes into the dome structure in the left hand side as well. You can add these random strokes in the bottom portion using the tip of your brush, and you can observe that it is a very abstract way of applying these strokes. There is no perfection here. So no need to worry about that. You can apply it in your own way as well. So you can observe that we are almost done adding the white color in the entire building structure. I'll be using my thick marker to apply a solid black background in the entire sketch that we have created. So be a little bit careful near the outline. Make sure that your marker does not enter the outline. You can carefully observe that I'm making these little vertical strokes combining together to form a nice solid black patch. Now, slowly, I'll be moving towards the right hand side, connecting it with the building structure in the right hand side as well. If you observe carefully, there is a noise contrast of the entire building element with the black background that we have created. Now, slowly, you can cover the entire area. No need to hurry at all. Try to do this particular step in a very slow and steady manner. Take your time. Now, using the tip of the same marker, I'll be adding a few more solid black patches to enhance the entire sketch in the bottom portion basically. Now take some solid white color, add a little bit of more water into the color palette, make a good combination of water and color together. Now, simply tap your finger onto the brush and splatter some color around into the background basically, and in the bottom portion also, if you want to. And you'll observe this beautiful white dots creating some nice abstract effect. Similarly, you can do this with solid black color as well. Just make a good combination of water and color together. Tap your finger onto the brush and splatter some color around. Using three basic steps, sketching, inking, and painting. We have created the entire beautiful urban sketch in the bottom portion. You can compare it with the color palette that we have used from the above portion and the strokes of the black pen and the black marker. Using the black pen, you can add few more minute details inside your entire sketch. I hope that you've got an exact idea of the techniques and simple methods that we're going to use to create all the eight class projects. The practice sheet will help you a lot to develop confidence while painting and the chances of making mistakes will be very less. It will also act as a warm up exercise before you start with the class projects. Now, let us move towards the next part. Okay. 6. Lets Cut and Place the Paper: Hey, everybody, now, let us cut and place the paper onto the desk surface so that it will not move while you're creating the class project. So if you observe carefully, it is basically a one 80 GSM brown paper, and this is basically an A five size acid free paper. They are going to convert it into an A six size paper by cutting it into two equal parts. In case you want to create the class project in an A five size paper, it is completely fine, but I'm going to convert it into two equal parts. So just simply fold the paper. Try to match the corners from both the sides and just use your thumb and finger to press the entire fold. No need to hurry at all. Try to do this particular step in a careful manner. Then using your thumb, you can just press it onto the entire fold. You'll observe once you open the paper, you'll find a nice line, which is basically creating two equal parts of the A five size paper. Now, using a simple scissor, we are going to cut it just follow the line and be very much careful while you're using a scissor. You can observe that I'm cutting the paper into two equal parts. So using one A five size paper, you can get two A six size papers. Now, once we get the Ax size papers, you can observe the class projects as well. You're going to place it onto the desk surface so that it will not move while you're creating the class project. It's a very simple and easy step. Just place your paper wherever you're comfortable with. Then I'll be using a simple masking tape to place it onto the corners so that it will not move while you're painting or drawing. So take your masking tape and cut a small piece of the masking tape. Similarly, add one more piece of masking tape. Now we're going to add it onto the corners. Place it onto the corner and just simply apply some pressure using your finger or thumb. Similarly, place it on another corner on the bottom portion. Now, if you observe carefully, the paper will not move while you're drawing or painting, and this is how you can place your paper onto the desk surface. I hope that you've got an exact idea of cutting and placing the paper. Now let us move towards the next part. 7. Painting 1 - The Dome: Hey, ey buddy, you're most welcome to the first painting, which is the dome. So as you can observe, I'm ready with my brown paper being placed on the desk surface. And let us start with the basic sketch. I'll be using my simple pencil. No need to hurry at all. Try to create the sketch in a very slow and steady manner. Just observe these steps carefully. So I've started with a small semicircular shape on the topmost portion, followed by two vertical lines on either sides. And then we're going to have this huge semicircular shape on the bottom portion. Now, there are going to be three walls on the bottom portion connected with this huge dome structure that we have created. So you can add two lines in an inclination, which is a little bit slant and one horizontal line in between. And then you have to add these vertical lines connecting with the rectangular shapes that we have created. There is this nice randomness of lines, which is basically a connection of horizontal and vertical lines together in the right hand portion. No need to draw it in the exact same way. You can create your own variation as well. Okay. Similarly, I have added these random lines on the left hand side as well. Now, we are adding two little windows in the first wall. It is a simple combination of a semicircular shape on the topmost portion, followed by horizontal and vertical lines. Now, we can add minute details. So the pencil sketch is just a basic form of the entire building structure. Then we are going to apply solid black color as well. So this is the basic sketch that we have created using a simple pencil. I'll be starting with my marker. Now, we are going to simply follow the pencil line slowly. No need to hurry at all. Also, there are going to be additional strokes that we're going to make using the marker. The pencil sketch basically gives us a basic idea of the entire sketch and the building structure. Additionally, we can add minute details using our marker. It is completely fine. She can observe that I'm following the pencil line, and I'm also adding one more line. So it basically enhances the entire sketch, and the sketch will look a little bit more classic and aesthetic. No need to hurry at all, take your time and sketch with a lot of patience. Now, in order to make the line a little bit thicker, I'll be shifting from this marker to my calligraphy pen. This is also a simple black marker. But the tip you can observe is a little bit thicker. So now, slowly, we are going to follow the pencil lines again. In case you want to make the lines a little bit more thick, you can add another stroke using your marker. In case, there is a minor difference of adding the outline and your line goes a little bit out of the pencil line. It is completely fine. It's a rough sketching method, so it is absolutely okay. No need to worry about perfection. So you can observe that I'm adding these little details also using the same marker. Now, slowly, I'll be moving towards the bottom portion. So I want to add a few minor details, and it is a very simple and easy step. You just have to create these little strokes just below the horizontal line that we have created below the huge dome structure. Now, I'll be creating the outline for the walls as well and the building structure that we have created on the left and right hand side as well. So you can observe the movement of my marker, the way I'm moving my hand. Also, whenever you're giving any outline to a basic pencil sketch, always try to keep your hand very much loose and free. This will help you a lot to draw in a very comfortable manner, and your hand won't be that much stiff. So I've added these little black patches in the windows, and I'm additionally adding a few more details by creating these little black patches and some horizontal strokes in the wall area. If you observe carefully, there is a good contrast with the brown paper and the solid black color that we have applied right now. So right now, you can already observe that we have created a beautiful black solid outline to the entire dome structure. Now, in order to enhance the entire sketch and make it look a little bit more classic and attractive, you can add a few more horizontal and vertical strokes in a random manner. It is completely fine. So no need to worry about adding it in the exact same way I'm adding right now. It's just a simple technique of adding these horizontal and vertical lines randomly. The more details you'll add to your entire sketch, the better the sketch will look, and it will create some more aesthetics. Now, let us move to adding a few more details. It is a simple method. We'll be using our simple black pen, which is having a nice thin tip. You just have to add these horizontal and vertical lines in the entire building structure. It's a very simple and easy technique. You can observe carefully. I'm adding a little.in the starting portion, and I'm completing the line if you observe carefully. So you can see that these beautiful thin lines creates some nice details to the entire sketch. It will make it look a little bit more in depth and detail. There is no specific way of adding the strokes. You can randomly apply them in whichever manner you want to. Just make a combination of good horizontal and vertical lines together. Similarly, I'll be adding these strokes on the right hand side and left hand side of the building structure as well. So we are done with the outline using a black pen and a marker. Now, let us start by adding a beautiful color element, which is a solid white color. So I've taken some color in the color palette. It might not be that much visible because the color palette is also white. So just make a good combination of color and water together. Start applying it to the dome structure and starting from the left hand portion. You can observe that we are applying it in certain portions only. If there is a little bit of space left in between, it is completely fine. You can knowingly do that as well. It will make the entire sketch look a little bit more aesthetic and classic. Also, no need to worry about the pen strokes that we made in the dome structure. It will reappear once the color will dry. Also, we can apply the strokes on the entire paper as well. Now, slowly, I'll be applying the color in the remaining building structure as well. If I tell you in specific detail, you don't have to worry about the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can add the strokes of the color according to your convenience as well. It is completely fine. I'm just randomly adding this solid white color to the entire sketch that we have created. Also, you can observe a nice combination of solid black color, the brown color that we have on the paper and the white color that we are applying right now. Wherever you have smaller portion to apply the color, you can use the tip of your round brush of size three, basically. In case you are missing out on a round brush of size three, you can use a round brush of size seven as well. It is completely fine. You can use the tip of your round brush carefully, wherever you want to paint in a smaller portion. Now, you can slowly observe that I'm leaving some space in between knowingly only so that it creates some nice depth and details to the entire sketch. In case you find that the saturation of the solid white color is a little bit less. You can take some more color from the color palette, and in case you find that there is axis amount of water in your brush, you can dab your brush onto the tissue paper. It will remove axis amount of water and you'll get a nice, highly saturated solid white color. Also, in case you find that your color is getting finished from the brush. You can take some more color from the color palette. I'll be adding the solid white strokes in the right hand side of the entire dome structure as well. It's a combination of horizontal and vertical lines together. In the bottom portion, you can apply these little solid white patches and follow the solid black line. You can observe the way I'm using my brush and creating some random strokes in the bottom portion as well. If you want thin white strokes, you can just apply less pressure on your brush and just randomly move it. Now, let us add a noise abstract solid black background in the entire dome structure. I'll be using my thick solid black marker, and you can observe carefully that I have created these vertical strokes combining together. And it is in a very uneven manner. No need to worry about perfection. Once you have applied the vertical strokes in the topmost portion, you can fill in the solid black color in the remaining portion in the bottom part. Just make sure that you do not move inside the entire building structure. Similarly, we are going to add these vertical strokes combining together in the right hand side as well. And slowly, we are going to cover the entire area in the bottom portion with this solid black color. Just apply the marker in smaller portions so that you can get a nice, highly saturated solid black color. Also, in case, while you are applying this solid black color in the background, if there is any space left in between, it is completely fine. You can reapply the marker in that particular area. Now, if you observe carefully, there is even better contrast of the entire dome structure that we have created and the solid black background. You can apply it on the random strokes that we have created in the bottom portion as well and the windows. If you're using a solid black marker, 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 paint in a very comfortable manner. Now, wherever I feel that the solid white color is a little bit less saturated. You can take some more color from the color palette. Try to have less amount of water in your brush, and you can reapply some nice solid white strokes in the building structure. It's a very random and natural process, so no need to worry about adding the strokes in the exact same way. You can do it according to your convenience. It is completely fine. In case you find that your color is getting finished from the brush, you can take some more color. Now, to create some nice classic effect, I'm taking some solid white color from the color palette, add some water and tap your finger onto the brush. You can splatter some color randomly. You can splatter the color in the topmost portion and the bottom part. You'll observe that the color will splatter in this round format. Basically tiny circular shapes. Similarly, we can do this particular thing using solid black color as well to create a nice combination. So I'll be taking my black pen, and I'll be writing a nice text in the bottom portion. You can write any particular message. I have written urban sketching. Now, in certain areas, the solid white color is covering the solid black strokes that we created initially. Now to retain that, we are just reapplying the strokes. It is absolutely fine if you're not able to retain all the strokes. You can just randomly apply it wherever required. If at all, you find that your details are getting covered using the solid white color. You can reapply these strokes using your marker and pen. I'll be just splattering some solid black color as well, the way we did with solid white color. You can just take some solid black color, add some water, and tap your finger onto the brush. Simply just splatter the color in a very random and natural way. So we are done with the entire painting. You can simply remove the masking tape from both the corners. Now, let me take you a little bit closer so that you can observe all the details carefully. You can observe a beautiful contrast of the entire building element, a beautiful abstract background, the entire building structure that we have created. I hope that you enjoyed creating this particular painting and got to learn something new. You can observe the minute details carefully and create the particular class project. Now let us move towards the next painting. 8. Painting 2 - The Castle: Hey, every buddy, you are most welcome to the second painting, which I have named as the castle. So as you can observe, I'm ready with my brown paper, and they are starting with a basic sketch using a simple pencil. So I'm starting with a simple semicircular shape on the topmost portion, followed by two vertical lines, and then again repeating the same step. But in a huge scale. So again, you have to add another semicircular shape, which is a little bit bigger than the first one. Now, followed by another two vertical lines, you have to create this nice building element, which is a little bit in an angle, followed by a triangular shape, which is connected in a lower altitude. In case you find it a little bit complicated, you can simply follow the pencil line. Now, similarly, I'll be adding another huge building structure connecting with all the structures that we have created on the topmost portion. It's a combination of horizontal and vertical lines together, so no need to worry about getting it in the exact same way I'm drawing right now. In case there is a minor difference or you want to create your own building structure. It is completely fine. So I've added a nice wall element in the left hand side. Similarly, we are adding this nice building structure in the right hand side as well. It's a simple combination of horizontal and vertical lines together. If you observe carefully, I'm adding these little rectangular windows in between as well. So the pencil line basically gives us a basic structure of the entire building. Once we are done with the entire pencil line, we are going to give the outline using a black marker. So I've added a few more windows in the building structure that we have created in the bottom portion. If you observe carefully, you can add a nice semicircular shape on the topmost portion, followed by horizontal and vertical line. And I have added this nice random line in the bottom portion to make the sketch look a little bit more classic. So we are done with the entire pencil sketch. Now I'm going to use my marker, which is basically a caligraphy pen. You can use a solid black marker as well. It is completely fine. So we are starting from the topmost portion. You just have to follow the pencil line. And apart from the pencil line, we can also add few additional strokes. It is completely fine because we want to create the entire cartel element a little bit more in detail. You can observe very carefully the way I'm using the tip of my marker and the way I'm moving my hand. Whenever you're giving any outline to a basic sketch, always try to keep your hand very much loose and free. No need to make it stiff. I'll be adding solid black color in these tiny windows, and you can observe carefully the way it enhances the entire sketch. Similarly, we are going to add horizontal and vertical lines to the entire building structure in the bottom portion as well. No need to hurry at all. Try to give the outline in a very slow and steady manner. Also, try to keep your hand very much loose and free whenever you're using a marker or pencil, it will help you a lot to give the outline in a very comfortable manner. Now, I'll be adding the outline to the entire building structure, which is having this beautiful triangular roof. Wherever you want to give a nice thick, solid black line, you can reapply another stroke on it and make it a double line so that you can get a nice thick solid black line. If you observe carefully, it's a combination of horizontal and vertical strokes together. Also, no need to worry about adding the strokes in the exact same way I'm drawing right now. You can add the strokes according to your convenience as well. It is completely fine. You can observe the way I'm adding this nice solid black color to these tiny windows that we have created. Now, apart from this, you can add these beautiful horizontal and vertical lines to add some more minute details to the entire sketch. You can observe the way I have added a nice solid black line to the random stroke that we have applied on the bottom portion. Let me remind you once again that no need to worry about adding these strokes in the exact same way I have drawn right now. You can create your own combination of the strokes as well. So no need to worry about perfection and the output. I'll be using my black pen to create some more depth and details to the entire sketch so that it will look a little bit more in detail and aesthetic. So you just have to use your solid black pen and add these little horizontal strokes. If you observe carefully, it creates a beautiful detailed element to the entire sketch. And your building structure will look a little bit more aesthetic. Similarly, I'll be adding the strokes in the bottom structure as well. Now I'll be adding vertical lines. I'm randomly adding these strokes, so there is no specific way of adding these strokes. You can randomly apply them wherever you want to. So I'll be adding a few more random strokes in the bottom portion as well, and a few more horizontal strokes in the building structure. Now, in order to add a few more minor details, I'll be just adding these little strokes on the topmost portion of the building structure using my marker, and you observe carefully that you get this nice solid black patch. Similarly, I'll be adding these little solid black patches just below the roof structure as well. So now you can observe the entire sketch is very much enhanced. It creates a nice contrast with the brown background. Now, let us make it look a little bit more aesthetic, so I'll be taking some solid white color in my color palette. I'm using a poster color basically. In case you want to use a guash color. It is completely fine. Make a good combination of color and water together and start applying it in the building structure. No need to worry about perfection. You just have to apply the solid white color in a very random way. In case there is any space left in between. It is completely fine. In fact, you can knowingly leave some space in between. Just make sure that your color does not enter the window elements. In case it enters the window element, it is fine. You can reapply the solid black color. Also, in case you observe carefully using this solid white color, your horizontal strokes that you applied using your black pen, will get a little bit vanished, but it is absolutely fine. We can reapply the strokes again. Now, slowly, I'll be covering the building area in the bottom portion as well, and I'm knowingly leaving some space in between. It makes the entire sketch look a little bit more classic. I'm using my round brush of size three, and wherever there is a smaller portion to apply the color, you can use the tip of your round brush to paint in smaller area. In case you find that your color is getting finished from the brush, you can take some more color from the color palette, and in case you find that the saturation of the solid white color is a little bit less, you can reduce the amount of water from the brush by dabbing it onto the tissue paper. Now, slowly, let us cover the building structure in the center portion as well. Just make sure that your brush does not move inside the window element. You can just create these beautiful strokes. Wherever you want to add thin strokes, which is basically solid white strokes, just use the tip of your round brush and apply least pressure on it. Let me remind you once again that I'm randomly applying the color. There is no specific way of applying this beautiful solid white color. So no need to worry about perfection or painting it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. Your strokes might vary, and it is completely fine. In fact, you can paint it according to your convenience as well. You're free to experiment and explore. So I'm adding the solid white color in the building structure in the right hand side as well. By leaving some space in between, you can observe that as well. In case you find that the saturation of the color that you're applying right now, which is basically a solid white color is a little bit less. You can take some color from the color palette and make sure that you have less amount of water and more color. So make a good combination of both of them and just dab your brush onto the tissue paper so that axis amount of water will be removed, and you can reapply the strokes wherever you find that the saturation of solid white color is a little bit less. You can observe carefully that I'm randomly applying the color in the bottom portion also. And I have added a few more strokes in the bottom part. So we are done adding solid white color. Now let us add a nice abstract solid black background to the entire building structure. So I'll be just combining these vertical strokes together forming a beautiful outline. And then in the remaining portion in the bottom part, you have to fill in solid black color using your thick solid black marker. No need to hurry at all. Apply the marker in smaller portions so that you can get a highly saturated solid black color. Also, you have to be very much careful that you do not move your marker inside the building structure. Be a little bit careful near the outline of the entire castle. Now, similarly, we are going to add these vertical strokes in the right hand side as well. It's a very random and natural way, so no need to worry about perfection or adding it in the exact same way I'm drawing right now. So you can observe that we are done adding a beautiful abstract background using our solid black marker. I'm adding a little bit of more strokes in the left hand side on the topmost portion to make it look a little bit more classic. In case you find that there is any space left in between applying the solid black marker, you can reapply the strokes in that particular area. I'm also adding a few more solid black strokes in the bottom portion, using the same marker. And I'm adding these little patches of solid black color to add few more details. I'll be using my black pen to add a simple message, which is urban sketching in case you want to add any other message according to your convenience, it is completely fine. You can enhance the entire write by adding a few more black strokes in it. Now, let us splatter some color in the background to make the entire sketch look a little bit more classic. So I'll be taking some solid white color, add some water in it, and simply tap your finger onto the brush. You can observe that the color will splatter in this random manner. So I'm basically trying to splatter the color in the background. Now, similarly, I'll be splattering some color in the bottom portion also. You will definitely enjoy this particular step because there is no specific way of splattering the color. You can just randomly do this. Similarly, we'll be taking some solid black color, and we are going to tap our finger onto the brush to splatter some solid black color as well in the background area. No need to hurry at all. Just enjoy the entire process. Now, if you observe carefully, after we have applied this beautiful solid white color to the entire sketch. There are a few solid black patches that are a little bit less saturated right now. So you can reapply your marker in that particular area to make the solid black color look a little bit more in contrast with the white color. In case you want to leave it as it is, that is also completely fine. If you want to enhance your solid black strokes again, you can just reapply your solid black marker in it. Do it very much carefully using the tip of your marker. Try to keep your hand very much loose and free while you're doing this particular step. So we are done with the entire painting. You can simply remove the masking tape from the corners. Let me take you a little bit closer so that you can observe all the details carefully of the beautiful castle painting that we have created. I hope that you enjoyed 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 painting. 9. Painting 3 - Vintage House: Hey, everybody, you're most welcome to the third painting, which I have named as the vintage house. So as you can observe, I'm ready with my paper being placed on the desk surface, and we're going to start by a simple pencil. So I'm starting with a basic sketch. I've started creating a simple building element in the left hand portion. It's a combination of vertical and horizontal lines if you observe carefully. I'm adding a little bit of fence element in the right hand side as well. Now, the main element is a vintage house, so it is going to have a triangular roof on the topmost surface. So you just have to connect two slant lines together. You can add one more line to double that triangular shape. Now, we are going to add vertical lines on either sides to complete the walls of the entire vintage house. No need to hurry at all. Try to draw the basic sketch in a very slow and steady manner. You can observe that we have created a basic structure of the entire house. Now, let us add few details like doors and windows. So I'll be just adding two little rectangular shapes followed by two vertical lines to complete the entire door. Now, if you want to make a little bit of changes in your entire sketch, you can erase it by using a simple eraser. So I wanted the position of the door a little bit different, so I'm drawing it again by adding two rectangular shapes on the topmost portion and two little windows on the right hand side. You can add the windows according to your convenience as well. It is completely fine. Also, it is not at all compulsory for you to draw the basic sketch in the exact same way I'm drawing right now. If you want to follow the steps and draw it in the same way, it is completely fine. And in case you want to create your own composition, that is also absolutely okay. So we are done with the basic sketch using a pencil. Now, I'll be using my calligraphy pen, which is basically a black marker only, and we are going to create the outline of the entire basic sketch. You can observe the way I'm moving my marker, and you can observe the way I'm moving my hand as well. We are simply going to follow the pencil line. But apart from the pencil line, we can also add additional strokes using our marker so that we can create some nice details to the entire sketch. If you observe carefully, if you want thinner strokes, just apply less pressure on your marker and use the tip of your marker carefully. Whenever you're using any pencil or marker or even a black pen, just 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. Try to move your hand around the paper so that you can make the strokes in a very comfortable manner. Now, I'm starting with the house, and I'm starting from the topmost. Now, let us start with the outline in the house element as well. We have started from the topmost portion, which is this beautiful roof. Now, if you observe carefully, there was no pencil line in the right hand side. So I additionally added a simple slant roof with a vertical line, which is a part of the entire house element. So it is completely fine if you add additional strokes and create some additional elements apart from the pencil line. I'll be adding a small solid black patch in the window to make a nice contrast with the background color. Using the same solid black marker, you can add these little solid black patches so that it creates a nice contrast with the background color. Now, if you observe carefully in these smaller windows, also we have added the smaller black patches. And in case you want to enhance the line and make it a little bit more thick, you can reapply the solid black strokes. Now, if you observe carefully, I'm randomly adding these random strokes around the entire sketch so that it looks a little bit more aesthetic and classic. Now, let us use our black pen, which is having a thin tip and solid black color. You can add these little strokes to enhance your entire sketch. It will look a little bit more in detail, and it also enhances the entire aesthetics of the sketch. There is no specific way of adding these strokes. You can observe carefully, it's a combination of horizontal and vertical strokes. I'm going to add horizontal strokes on the wall of the entire vintage house, and you can observe that I'm not covering the entire surface. I'm just adding it in certain area only. You can observe how these beautiful strokes will enhance your entire sketch, and it is completely fine if you add the strokes according to your convenience in your own random way. No need to worry about adding the strokes in the exact same way I'm drawing right now. The main purpose of adding these strokes using a white pen is to create some nice depth and details to the entire sketch. Also, no need to hurry at all. Try to add these strokes in a very slow and steady manner, try to have patients. So now we are done, creating some nice depth in the entire sketch. Now let us apply some beautiful solid white color. So if you observe carefully in my color palette, I'm taking some solid white color using my round brush of size three. Now let us start from the roof element. I'm just adding this solid white color. Wherever you want to apply the paint in a very smaller portion, always make sure that you use the tip of your brush and apply very less pressure on it so that you can apply the color in a very smaller portion. Now, let us start adding the color in the building element around the window. If you observe carefully, we are not going to cover the entire structure. We are just going to add the color in certain areas only, and we are knowingly doing that because we want to create some nice classic effect to the entire sketch. Right now, if you observe carefully, the horizontal strokes that we made using our black pen will get a little bit less saturated when we apply this solid white color on it. But it is completely fine. We can reapply the horizontal strokes using our black pen. Now, you can observe that I have applied the solid white color in the left hand portion of the entire house. We can also add few more strokes to make the saturation of the solid white color a little bit more. In case you find that your brush is having axis amount of water, what you can do is you can just dab your brush onto the tissue paper so that axis amount of water will be removed, and you'll get a nice, highly saturated solid white color. Let me remind you once again that no need to worry about adding the solid white color in the exact same way I'm painting right now. Your strokes might vary. The way you apply the color will be definitely different, and it is completely fine. In case you can knowingly add the color in random way and no need to worry about getting an exact output. You're free to explore and experiment so you can randomly apply these strokes. Additionally, you can add some solid white patches in the entire sketch wherever you want to to make the entire sketch look a little bit more classic. So it's a combination of horizontal and vertical strokes in certain areas. In certain areas, you can add solid white patches. So basically, there is a lot of randomness in the entire sketch. Now, let us add some more white color in the building structure that is on the left hand side. If you find that your color is getting finished from the brush, you can definitely take some more color from the color palette. And in case you find that the saturation of the solid white color is a little bit less, then you can definitely take some more color and try to have less amount of water in your brush. In case you find that there is axis amount of water in your brush, you can dab your brush onto the tissue paper. Now, using the tip of my brush, I'm just adding these strokes in a very random and natural way. Now, I want to add a little bit of solid white color in the right hand side of the vintage house. You can do that as well. Now, let us add a nice abstract background. I'll be using my thick solid black marker and just combine these vertical lines together to form an outline. And then we are going to add the solid black color in the remaining portion in the bottom area. You can add these solid black patches in smaller portions so that you do not leave any space. Be a little bit careful near the building element. Just make sure that you do not enter the entire building element. So just be a little bit careful near the outline of the entire building structure. Now, we have added the entire background on the left hand side. Similarly, we are going to do that on the right hand side as well. So I'll be combining the vertical strokes together and forming a nice abstract background on the right hand side as well. In case you find that there is any space left and between, you can definitely reapply the solid black strokes using your marker. No need to hurry at all. Try to apply the color in a very slow and steady manner. Try to keep your hand very much loose and free while you're doing this particular step. So you can observe a beautiful contrast of the solid black color with the building element. We can also add few solid black patches in the bottom portion as well. So we are done adding a beautiful abstract background. So when we applied the solid white color, our black strokes using our black pen, caught a little bit less saturated, so you can reapply the strokes using your black pen. Now, I'll be adding a little text on the bottom portion, and I'm going to write urban sketching. You can write any other message also according to your convenience. It is completely fine. Now, once we are done adding a text element to the entire sketch, let us add you more aesthetic elements. So I'll be taking some solid white color in the color palette, add some water in it. Now, simply tap your finger onto the brush, and you'll observe that the color will splatter in this random and abstract manner in circular form. You can splatter the color in the background area and also in the bottom portion. There is no specific way of splattering the color. You can randomly do this. Now, similarly, we are going to repeat the same step using solid black color. Add some water and loosen the color a little bit so that the color will splatter in a nice way. Now, simply tap your finger and splatter some color around. Again, it is the same process. Just splatter it onto the background and in the bottom portion. You can observe how beautiful the entire sketch is looking right now. In case in certain areas, you find that your solid black marker strokes are a little bit less saturated after you have applied your white color to the entire sketch. You can reapply those strokes again using your marker. To retain the solid black color, you can observe the entire sketch carefully, and wherever you find that you want to add the strokes again, you can reapply the strokes on that particular area. So we are done with the entire painting. Let me remove the masking tape from both the corners so that we can remove the brown paper. And let me take you a little bit closer so that you can observe all the details carefully. You can observe the way we have combined all the elements together to form this beautiful painting. I hope that you enjoyed this particular painting and got to learn something new. No need to worry about the output. Just enjoy the process and create the entire class project. Now, let us move towards the next part. 10. Painting 4 - The Window: Hey, buddy, you're most welcome to the fourth painting, which I have named as the window. So as you can observe, I'm ready with my brown paper on the desk surface, and we are starting with a basic sketch. So I'll be using my simple pencil, and you can observe I have created two lines on the left hand portion. Now, let us start with the window structure. So I have drawn a simple rectangular shape on the topmost portion, followed by two curved lines, which we are going to double. So this basically creates a nice semicircular shape on the topmost portion. On the ends, we are going to add these rectangular shapes again, and you have to connect it with two horizontal lines, creating the frame structure of the entire window. Now, I'll be adding two vertical lines on either sides and one horizontal line on the bottom portion to complete the entire frame structure of the window. No need to hurry at all. Just simply follow these steps carefully. Try to keep your hand very much loose and free while you're creating a basic sketch using a pencil. This will help you a lot to draw in a comfortable manner. There are going to be certain additional elements to the entire building structure like horizontal and vertical lines together. So you can add them according to your convenience as well, and in case you want to follow the way I'm drawing right now, that is also completely fine. I'll be adding these vertical lines together forming the windows, which is basically the opening shutter of the entire window. I'll be adding few details in the semicircular shape that we have drawn on the topmost portion. So you just have to create these nice patterns. No need to hurry at all. Just try to draw the patterns in this abstract manner only. No need to worry about perfection. Also, in case you want to create your own pattern and add the details. According to your convenience, it is completely fine. No need to worry about perfection. I'll be adding certain elements in the right hand side as well, followed by one horizontal line. And some vertical lines. You can also add few strokes on the left hand side of the entire window. So we are done with the basic sketch using a pencil. Now, let us start adding the outline. I'll be using my marker, which is basically a black marker. No need to hurry at all. Try to follow the pencil line. Apart from the pencil line, we are also going to add few additional strokes using the marker. This will help us to add few more details to the entire sketch. Now, whenever you're using a marker to add an outline to your pencil sketch, always try to keep your hand very much loose and free. This will help your lot to draw in a very comfortable manner. Also, the more you'll change the position of your hand, the better and comfortable way you'll be able to add the strokes to the entire pencil sketch. It is not at all compulsory that you have to add the outline, wherever you have applied the pencil only. Additionally, also, you can use your marker to add some nice outline to your entire sketch. In the entire sketch, wherever you want to have a thin line, try to use the tip of your marker and apply very less pressure on it. And wherever you want to create a thick line, you can add multiple strokes and even apply some more pressure on your marker. Now I'll be adding the outline to the details that we have created using the pencil. If you observe carefully, we have created a nice contrast with the solid brown color. Now, in order to enhance the entire sketch, what I'll do is that I'll add these little vertical lines in the framework of the entire window so that we can add some nice depth and details. So we have almost covered the entire outline of the entire window structure. Now, let us add the outline to the building structure around the entire window as well. So, again, it's a combination of horizontal and vertical lines only. You can just randomly add these strokes around. Also, in case you want to add these strokes according to your convenience, that is also completely fine. Now, I'll be using my black pen, which is having a thin tip and solid black color, and we're going to add some nice depth and details to the entire sketch. It is a very simple and easy step. You just have to add these horizontal and vertical lines randomly in certain areas. While you're using a pen, always make sure that your hand is very much loose and free. No need to make it stiff. This will help your lot to draw in a very comfortable manner. You can add the details according to your convenience as well. So we are done adding some nice depth and details to the entire sketch using a white pen. Now, the next step is to add some solid white color. So take some good amount of solid white color in your color palette. Make a good combination of water and color together. We are starting from the building structure, which is on the left hand side. I'm slowly applying these little solid white patches. No need to hurry at all, take your time and apply the patches in a very random and natural way. No need to worry about painting it in the exact same way. I'm painting right now. In case you find that your color is getting finished from the brush, you can definitely take some more color from the color palette. Also, in case you find that there is axis amount of water in your brush, simply dab it onto the tissue paper. So right now, I'm applying the color on the left hand portion of the entire window, adding a few horizontal and vertical lines together. If you observe carefully, there is a nice combination of the brown color in the background, the black color that we have used to give an outline to the entire window and the solid white color that we are applying right now. The paint will basically enhance the entire sketch. You can also add few random strokes in the bottom portion. Now, similarly, we're going to add solid white color in the building structure, which is on the right hand side as well. You can observe that I'm randomly adding these white patches around. No need to hurry at all. Take your time and apply the color in a very slow and steady manner. In case you find that your color is getting finished from the brush. You can take some more color from the color palette. Now, let us start with the window element as well. I'm starting from the topmost portion. No need to worry about applying the color on the entire surface of the sketch. You can knowingly leave some space in between. It looks really nice and classic. Also, if you find that the saturation of the solid white color is a little bit less. What you can do is you can just dab your brush onto the tissue paper so that axis amount of water will be removed and you'll have more amount of solid white color. In case you have already applied a less saturated solid white color in certain area, you can reapply the white color on that particular area once the color is dry so that you'll get a nice, highly saturated solid white color. Now you can observe that in the detailed area, I'm just adding these vertical lines. So whenever you want to paint in a very smaller portion, just try to use the tip of your brush and apply less pressure on it. Now, let us add some nice color to the frame structure of the entire window. You just have to take some good amount of color and just apply a nice stroke. In case there is any space left, it is completely fine. It will look really nice. If you observe carefully, the solid black lines that we applied using our pen is a little bit less visible right now, but it is completely fine. We can reapply the strokes. Now, similarly, I'll be adding the solid white color in the below frame structure as well. You can observe that I'm knowingly leaving some space in the right hand side, and it looks really nice. Now, we are almost done applying a nice solid white color to our entire sketch. Now, I'll be using my black pen again, and we are reapplying the strokes that are less visible right now. It is completely fine. You can randomly apply it wherever you find that the strokes are not that much visible. Also, whenever you're using a black pen, try to keep your hand very much loose and free. This will help you lot to draw in a comfortable manner. You can also add some random strokes around the entire sketch to make the sketch look a little bit more aesthetic. In case you want your strokes to be a little bit more visible. You can definitely use your marker rather than a pen. Wherever you want your solid black color to be a little bit more visible. You can apply the strokes. You can use the tip of your marker carefully, and wherever you want to have a thick stroke, you can apply a little bit of more pressure. Now, I'll be adding a nice text in the bottom portion. I'm writing urban sketching. You can write any message that you want to write. It is absolutely fine. Now, once we are done with the entire text element, now we are going to add some solid black patches to enhance the entire shutter of the window. It is a very simple and easy step. You just have to cover the rectangular shapes using your marker. Just try to apply it in smaller portions and make sure that there is no space left in between. You can leave the frame structure. It will look really nice. Slowly, I'm going to cover the entire smaller rectangular shapes, and no need to hurry at all. Use the tip of your marker carefully. So we have this one rectangular shape in between, and we are going to cover that as well. So you can observe how beautiful the entire shutter of the window is creating a nice contrast with the frame structure. Now, in order to enhance the frame element, I'll be taking my round brush of size three again and take some solid white color in it. Apply it on the horizontal and vertical lines of the shutter as well. Use the tip of your round brush and apply very less pressure on it so that you can get a nice thin line. So now you can observe that the shutter of the windows are looking really nice and it creates a beautiful contrast with the solid white lines that we have applied. Now let us create a nice abstract background using our thick solid black marker. So I'm starting from the left hand portion. You just have to combine these vertical strokes together forming a nice outline, and then you have to fill in solid black color in the remaining portion. No need to hurry at all. It is a very random and natural process of applying the marker. So no need to worry about perfection. Also, don't worry about drawing it in the exact same way. I'm applying the marker right now. There will be variation in your strokes and mine, and it is completely fine. Just be a little bit careful near the outline of the window structure. Just make sure that your marker should not enter the sketch that we have created in between. Apply the marker in smaller portions and make sure that there is no space left in between. In case you find that you have left some space in between, you can reapply the marker in that particular area. So we are almost done applying a nice solid black background. Now, apart from the background, if you want to add some solid black patches in the remaining portion of the structure, you can add them. Use the tip of your marker and apply some less pressure so that you can get a nice thin tip, and wherever you want to create a solid black patch, you can apply it in the entire portion. So I'm adding some nice black patches on the bottom portion of the entire window as well. So we are almost done with the entire sketch. Now let us add some nice abstract element. Take some solid white color in your color palette, add some water in it. Now, simply tap your finger onto the brush to splatter some color. You'll observe that it will splatter in a very random and natural way, creating some nice aesthetics and classic effect to your entire sketch. Similarly, you can repeat the same step with black color as well, mix it well with water and simply tap your finger onto the brush to splatter some color around. You will definitely enjoy this particular step. It is really fun. Also, no need to worry about perfection. Just do it in a very random and natural way only. To enhance the details in the semicircular shape, I've taken my round brush of size three, take some solid black color in it and apply the color in this particular detailed manner. Use the tip of your brush. So we are done with the entire painting. Now, let me remove the masking tape from the corners. And let me take you a little bit closer so that you can observe all the details carefully. You can observe how we have used some basic elements to create a nice urban sketch. I hope that you enjoyed this particular painting and got to learn something new. No need to worry about the output. Just enjoy the process of creating the project. Now let us move towards the next painting. 11. Painting 5 - The Building: Hey, everybody, you most welcome to the fifth painting, which is the building. As you can observe, I'm ready with my brown paper, and I'll be using a simple pencil to start with a basic sketch. So in this particular class project, we are having a nice building element. So I'm starting with the topmost portion creating these horizontal and slant lines together. You can observe them carefully. Then followed by two vertical lines. We are just trying to draw a nice rectangular shape. If you observe on the right hand side, we have created two slant lines to make the building look in perspective. Now, once we are done with the entire huge building structure, we're going to add some nice building elements in the left hand portion connected with the big rectangular structure that we have created. So I've added a nice building element having a small dome structure on the topmost portion. Similarly, we're going to add one little building structure connected to it. Now, we're going to add these tiny windows, which is in a rectangular shape. Okay. No need to hurry at all. Try to keep your hand very much loose and free. Now, we are going to add some elements in the entire building structure like some windows, some doors. Okay. I've added a nice door with a semicircular shape on the topmost portion. Then we're going to add these rectangular shapes which are basically windows in the entire building. Similarly, you can add these slant lines and add rectangular shapes in that as well. It is absolutely fine if you draw these shapes according to your convenience. It is completely okay. You're free to experiment and draw it in your own way as well. In fact, in case you want to create your own composition of the entire building, that is also completely fine. Now, you can add some random strokes in the bottom portion using your pencil. There is no specific way of applying these strokes. You can add it in a random way. So I've added a little bit of roof element in the building structure on the right hand portion. Now, once we are done with the basic sketch, we are going to give an outline to the entire sketch that we have created using the pencil. We're going to follow the pencil line, but apart from the pencil line, you can also add few additional strokes using your marker. No need to hurry at all. Whenever you're using a marker to apply an outline to a basic sketch, always try to keep your hand very much loose and free. No need to make it stiff. The more you will move your hand around the paper, the better position you'll get to draw in a comfortable manner. If you observe carefully, I'm trying to use the tip of my marker, wherever I want a thin line. And in case wherever you want to create a thick line, you can apply a little bit of more pressure, and you can add few more strokes to make it look a little bit more thick. Using the same marker, we are also going to add the details in the entire building structure. So I'm starting with the building elements that we have drawn on the left hand portion. You can observe the way I'm using the tip of my marker to add these little lines. Whenever you're applying an outline to a basic sketch, 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 in a comfortable manner. We are going to apply a solid black patch in the entire window that we have created in the surface of the entire building. You can use the tip of your marker to add a nice horizontal line in the bottom portion. The more strokes you'll add to the entire sketch, the better it will look, and it will add a lot of details to your entire sketch. It is not at all compulsory to follow the pencil line only. You can add additional strokes as well. So I'm just adding these beautiful fence element in the outer portion of the window. So you just have to create these little vertical lines around and just make a small horizontal line on the topmost portion. Apart from that, you can add a few more additional strokes. I'll be also covering the door element in the bottom portion. Also, I've added a nice solid black patch. Now, similarly, the way we have added a nice solid patch in these little windows. We are going to add them in the windows that are on the left hand side as well. Now, we're going to add some nice solid black patches in the building portion on the left hand side as well. Now, once we are done adding an outline using a marker. Now I'll be using my black pen, and we're going to add these strokes to create some nice depth and details in the entire sketch. It's a very simple and easy step, and there is no specific way of applying these strokes. It's a combination of horizontal and vertical lines together. You can add them wherever you want to in the entire sketch. So you can slowly observe I'm just creating these beautiful patches using this black pen. The main reason behind using a black pinners so that you can get a less intensity black color, and you can create some nice depth and details towards your entire sketch. So I'm adding these vertical lines just below the fence element that we created near the windows. And you will slowly observe that your entire sketch will look a little bit more attractive also. No need to hurry at all. Try to apply the patches in a very slow and steady manner and try to keep your hand very much loose and free while you're doing this particular step. So now we are done with the entire sketch and the outline. Let us use solid white color to add some paint to the entire sketch. I'll be taking some solid white color in the color palette. I'll be using my round brush of size three. And I'm starting from the top left corner. You just have to apply these little patches using solid white color. Wherever you want to apply color in a very smaller area, always try to use the tip of your brush and apply very less pressure. Now, I'm just covering the walls. You can observe the way I'm adding the strokes using my brush. It is not at all compulsory to cover the entire area. You can knowingly leave some space in between where the brown paper will be visible. So now, I'll be just applying the solid white color in the main wall which is visible. Just make sure that you do not move your brush inside the solid black patch. In case you might move your brush inside the solid black patch of the window. It is absolutely fine. You can reapply the black color on that particular area. Now, I'll be just applying the solid white color in the building structure in the right hand side as well. You can already observe a beautiful contrast of the solid white color, the brown paper, and the black outline that we have created. In case you find that your color is getting finished from the brush, you can definitely take some more color from the color palette. Also, in case you find that the saturation of the solid white color that you are using is a little bit less. What you can do is you can simply dab your brush onto the tissue paper so that excess amount of water will be removed and you'll get a nice saturated solid white color. Now, in the dome structure that we have in the left hand portion. I'm also going to apply solid white color there. You can observe the movement of my hand the way I'm moving my brush to apply solid white color to the entire sketch. You can also create these random strokes in the bottom portion using the tip of your round brush. Also, one more thing that I would like to tell you is there is no specific way of applying the solid white patches to your entire sketch. Your strokes and my strokes might vary, and it is completely fine. There might be a little bit of difference. In fact, you can add the color according to your convenience. You can add the patches wherever you want to. To create some classic effect to the entire sketch, I'll be adding these random strokes in the bottom portion. And if you observe carefully, there is a roof element there also, you can add some solid white color. So now we are done adding solid white color. I'll be using my black pen again, and we are going to reapply these strokes, which are now a little bit less visible once we have applied solid white color. You can add these strokes according to your convenience wherever you want to. I'll be writing a small message which is urban sketching in the bottom part. You can write any other message as well according to your convenience, whichever you want to. I'll be using my thick solid black marker to create a nice abstract background in the entire sketch. It's a very simple and easy step you just have to create these little vertical lines combining together, forming a nice solid black color. While you're using a thick solid black marker, be a little bit careful near the entire building structure. Use the tip of your marker to add a nice outline, and then you can apply some more vertical patches to cover the entire area. There is no specific way of applying the solid black background in the abstract manner. You can create it according to your convenience. Also, if you observe carefully, we are not going to cover the entire brown paper. We are just adding it in certain areas. While you're using a thick solid black marker, always try to keep your hand very much loose and free. No need to make it stiff. Now, if you observe carefully, the entire building element will get a nice contrast with the background paper. Similarly, we can add some nice solid black patches on the bottom portion as well. Again, I'll be telling you the same thing. There is no specific way of applying it. You can apply it randomly wherever you want to. So you're definitely free to explore and experiment with the entire sketch. In case you find that there is any remaining space where you have not applied solid black color. You can reapply your marker in that particular area. It is completely fine. Now, once we are done adding a noise abstract background using this black color. We are going to add another aesthetic element, which is going to be some splattering of solid white color. So take some solid white color from the color palette, add a little bit of water. I'll be just enhancing the towers in the building structure on the left hand portion. Now, add some more water and color into your color palette. Mix them well and just tap your finger onto the brush to splatter some color around in the background. You will definitely enjoy this particular step. It is really fun. Now, similarly, I'll be taking some solid black color, and we're going to add some water and tap your finger onto the brush to splatter some color around. You just have to do it randomly in a very natural way. So we are done with the entire painting. Let me take you a little bits so that you can observe all the details carefully. I hope that you enjoyed creating this particular class project and got to learn something new. No need to worry about the output, enjoy the process of creating. You are free to explore and experiment and create your own composition of the entire building structure. Now, let us move towards the next painting. 12. Painting 6 - The Tower: Hey, buddy, most welcome to the sixth painting, which is the tower. So as you can observe, I'm ready with my brown paper, and I'll be starting with a simple pencil. We're going to create a basic sketch. So there's going to be a nice house element in the left hand portion. So you just have to create these triangular shapes and connect it with a horizontal line on the topmost portion. If it seems a little bit of complicated structure, you can just simply follow these steps. Now, there is going to be a huge tower in between, so you just have to draw these two vertical lines. Then we are going to add a ground line, which is going to be very much random and rough, so no need to worry about perfection. There is going to be another building structure, which is on the right hand side, so you just have to draw these two horizontal lines, and then again, the ground line. You can add some variation by adding to multiple random strokes in the bottom portion. There is going to be a big door element, which is having a semicircular shape on the topmost portion, followed by two vertical lines. Now, there is going to be a triangular roof in the entire tower, so you just have to create a triangular shape. You can add a little bit of vertical element as a tower in the topmost portion. No need to hurry at all, take your time and draw the sketch in a very slow and steady manner. You can simply follow these steps. In case there is a little bit of variation between the sketch, it is absolutely fine. In fact, you can create your own composition as well. In order to create some details, we have added these beautiful windows, which is having semicircular shape on the topmost portion, followed by two vertical lines. So this basically helps us to know the exact position of the window. You can simultaneously add some more details by adding some random strokes and rectangular shapes in the entire building structure. In fact, you can decide the position of the window. According to your convenience as well. It is completely fine. So now I'm adding some random strokes in the bottom portion. Now, once we are done with the basic pencil sketch, let us start with the marker. We are going to apply an outline to the entire sketch, and starting from the topmost portion where we have this beautiful rectangular roof. Wherever you want a nice thin line, try to apply some less pressure on your marker and use the tip of your marker. And wherever you want to make a thick line, you can reapply multiple strokes in that particular line. It is not at all compulsory for you to only cover the pencil line. You can additionally add some more strokes using your marker. Now, slowly, we are also going to cover the windows. We are going to apply some nice solid black patches in the windows. There are these little windows in the huge tower as well, so we can cover that as well. Now I'll be adding an outline to the door that we have created in the entire tower. Whenever you're using a marker to apply an outline to a basic pencil sketch, always make sure that you keep your hand very much loose and free. No need to make it very much stiff. The more you'll move your hand, the better comfortable position you'll get while you're drawing. Now, once we are done applying an outline using a marker. What we are going to do is that we are going to use a black pen to add some beautiful horizontal and vertical strokes to the entire sketch so that we can create some nice depth and details. This particular step basically helps us to create some nice aesthetics to the entire sketch, and the sketch will look a little bit more in detail. There is no specific way of applying these strokes. You can randomly apply them. You can enhance the doors and windows using the pen. You can create an outline for the windows as well. You can carefully observe the way I'm applying these strokes in some random areas of the entire sketch. It is a mixture of slant horizontal and vertical strokes together. So there is no specific way of applying them, so no need to worry about that. You can just apply it according to your convenience wherever you want to. Even if you're using a black pen, it would be really great if you try to keep your hand very much loose and free, no need to make it stiff. It will help you a lot to draw in a comfortable manner. Now, in order to enhance the main tower, I'll be adding these horizontal lines in the entire tower. You can observe there is a small black patch that I'm creating using my black pen, and then you have to stretch the entire line. So it's a very random process. So no need to worry about creating perfect horizontal strokes. Similarly, I'm going to add these horizontal strokes in the house element in the left hand portion. Now, once we are done with the entire sketch and the outline, we are going to use solid white color to paint our entire sketch. So I'm starting from the topmost portion. Take some solid white color in your color palette, mix it well with water. I'll be using my round brush of size three. Whenever you want to paint in a smaller portion, always use the tip of your brush and apply less pressure so that you can apply the color in a very careful and comfortable manner. Now, I'll be starting in the roof structure that is in a triangular form. The strokes that we created using our black pen might get a little bit less saturated and visible, but it is absolutely fine. We can reapply these strokes again. Then we have these little rectangular shapes. You can add some white strokes in that as well. Similarly, we are going to apply the color in the entire tower. You can observe the way I'm moving my round brush. Then using the tip of my round brush, I'll be creating these horizontal strokes. You can add the solid white patch around the window as well. Then slowly, I'll cover the entire tower in the bottom portion. There is no specific way of applying solid white color towards your entire sketch. You can just randomly apply it wherever you want to. In case you find that the saturation of your solid white color is a little bit less, then you might be having some axis amount of water in your brush. To remove axis amount of water from your brush, just simply dab your brush onto the tissue paper so that axis amount of water will be removed and you'll get a nice, highly saturated solid white color. In case you have already applied a less saturated white color, let it dry for a while, and then you can reapply the color on it. Now, I'll be adding some solid white patches in the house structure that we have created on the left hand side. Similarly, you can add some strokes in the bottom portion as well. So now we have applied the solid white color in the roof structure that we have in the right inside in a very random way. We have knowingly left some space in between to make the sketch look a little bit classic and aesthetic. One thing that you can make sure is that while you're applying a solid white color towards your entire sketch, just make sure that you do not move your brush inside the solid black patches that we have created. In case by mistake, you move your brush inside the solid black color. You can just reapply the black color once the color is dry. Now, we are almost done applying a nice solid white color towards the entire building structure. Let us add some nice random patches to the bottom portion of the entire building structure. There's a little bit of portion left in the left hand side, so you can add the patches. Accordingly, you can add the color according to your convenience. Now, if you observe carefully, the black strokes that we made using our white pen are a little bit less visible once we have applied a solid white color. So to enhance them, again, you can reapply the strokes wherever you want to. This will basically enhance the details of the entire sketch. So I'll be adding the vertical lines in the triangular roof as well and the horizontal lines that we created in the bottom portion. No need to hurry at all. Just try to draw it in a very slow and steady manner. You can observe a beautiful contrast of the solid black lines and the white color in the background. Now, we can add one more element to the entire sketch, which is writing a simple text message. So I'm writing urban sketching. You can write any other message according to your convenience. It is completely fine. To enhance the text, you can add some more solid black strokes so that the text will be a bit more visible. Also, in case you do not want to add a text element, that is also absolutely fine. Now we are done with the entire sketch. Let us add a nice solid black background in an abstract manner. So I'll be using my solid black marker with a thick tip. I'm combining vertical strokes together to form an outline, and then we are going to fill in solid black color in the remaining portion. No need to hurry at all. Just apply the marker in a slow and steady manner. Just make sure that your marker should not move inside the building structure. So be a little bit careful near the outline of the entire building. Now, similarly, I'll be adding a nice random abstract background in the right hand side as well. While you're applying a solid black marker, make sure that there is no space left in between. In case you find that there is any space left in between, you can reapply these strokes again. You can observe a beautiful contrast of the solid black background and the sketch that we have created. They are not going to cover the entire brown paper with solid black color. You just have to apply it in an abstract manner. Now, to enhance the entire door element, I'm just adding these solid black patches in the bottom portion as well. You can add few more solid black patches in the ground area, which is in the bottom part. No need to worry about applying these strokes in the exact same way. There might be a variation in between your strokes and mine, and it is completely fine. Now, let us add another aesthetic element to the entire sketch. I'm going to splatter some color around. So take some solid white color from your color palette and mix it well with water. Now, you just have to simply tap your finger onto the brush and splatter some color around in the background. No need to hurry at all. It's a very fun step that you'll definitely enjoy. You can also splatter some color in the bottom portion. Now, simply clean your brush and take some solid black color in your round brush again. Mix it well with water, and then again splatter the black color in the background. You just have to tap your finger. There's no specific way of splattering the color, so you can just do it in a very random way. So we are done with the entire painting. I'll be removing the masking tape from the corners. Let me take you a little bit closer so that you can observe all the details carefully. Using some basic techniques to sketch and paint, we have created this beautiful painting. 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 of creating the class project. Now, let us move towards the next painting. 13. Painting 7 - The Backyard: Hey, everybody, you're most welcome to the seventh painting, which is the backyard. So as you can observe, I'm ready with my brown paper on the desk surface, and I'm starting with a basic sketch using a pencil. So there is going to be a simple backyard. So we are starting with the roof element, which is a simple triangular shape, followed by two vertical lines on either sides. Then you can add a simple horizontal line on the bottom portion to complete the entire building structure. I have added a small rectangular shape to separate the ground floor and the first floor. Now, apart from that, we are adding these slant lines on the bottom portion to make a nice perspective. There is also a simple board attached with the building in the right hand side, and there is going to be a simple post box that we have created in the right hand side. Now, in order to enhance the flooring in the bottom portion, I'm just creating these lines which are forming some tiles in a perspective manner. So you just have to create vertical and horizontal lines in an angle, basically. Then there is going to be a nice fence element in this slant way. Then you can just attach it with these vertical lines. Now, let us add some details in the house element. So there are going to be these two beautiful rectangular windows, and we're going to add one nice door in the center portion. No need to hurry at all. Take your time and draw the basic sketch. Apart from the door, there are these two little windows in a rectangular shape on either sides. The pencil sketch will help us a lot while we are applying a solid black outline using our marker. Now, there is going to be a nice tree just on the left hand portion above the fence element. So just have to create these random outline, which basically depicts an entire tree. Now, once we are done with the entire pencil sketch, I'll be using my marker to apply an outline to the entire sketch. Let us start with the tree. So you just have to simply follow the pencil line. Also, no need to worry about adding additional strokes using your marker. It is completely fine. We can add a few more details using the marker directly. So you can observe that I'm adding the outline to the windows as well. Whenever you're using a simple marker to apply an outline, always try to keep your hand very much loose and free. The more you'll move your hand, it will be better for you to apply the marker in a comfortable manner. If you observe carefully, there's a combination of horizontal and vertical strokes together, which forms the entire scenery. Now I'll be adding the marker to the door and the window in the bottom part as well. You can add these little vertical strokes to enhance the entire building element as well. I'll be adding a nice fence element, which is on the left hand portion. You just have to simply follow the pencil line. Also, you can add few additional strokes. You can also add these strokes in the ground area. Then next up, we have the building structure in the right hand side and a simple post box that you can cover using your marker. So we are done adding a simple outline using the marker. Now I'll be using my black pen to add some additional strokes, which will help us to create some nice depth and details to the entire sketch. It is a simple and easy step only. You just have to create these vertical and horizontal strokes in certain areas of the entire sketch. There is no specific way of applying the black pen. You can just randomly apply them wherever you want to. Okay. So you can observe the way I'm adding these strokes in the doors and the element in the bottom portion, which is a simple rectangular shape. You can also add it on the flooring, which we have created on the ground area. You can add some random strokes by creating some rough lines also. Now, to enhance the fence element, also, I've added a few random strokes using my black pen. Whenever you're using a black pen also, just make sure that you 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 in a comfortable manner. I'll be adding a simple text element in the bottom part, which is urban sketching. You can write any other message also according to your convenience. Also, in case you do not want to add any text, that is also absolutely fine. Now I'll be adding few adonal strokes in the entire building element. There is no specific way of applying these strokes, so no need to worry about drawing it in the exact same way. You can add it according to your convenience in a random manner. Now, once we are done with the entire outline and getting some nice depth and details using our Blackthn, let us add some solid white color to the entire sketch. I'll be taking some white color in my color palette, add a little bit of water and make a good composition of water and color together. Now, start applying it from the topmost portion. No need to hurry at all. I'll be using my round brush of size three. Whenever you're applying color in a very smaller portion, always try to use the tip of your brush and try to paint in a slow and steady manner. Apply very less pressure on it so that you can paint in a smaller portion. I'll be adding these little strokes in the rectangular shapes as well. You can knowingly leave some space in between, and it is absolutely fine. This will make the entire sketch look a little bit more classic and aesthetic. Now, we have the remaining portion where we can add this beautiful solid white color. So you can take some more color from the color palette in case you find that your color is getting finished from the brash. Similarly, you can add this beautiful texture of solid white color into the tree as well. Also, in case you find that the saturation of the solid white color is a little bit less. Then what you can do is you can simply dab your brush onto the tissue paper so that excess amount of water will be removed and you'll get a nice saturated solid white color. In case you have already applied the white color and it is a little bit less saturated. You can reapply it once the first coat is dry. So you can observe in the fence element, I have created these beautiful vertical strokes using the tip of my round brush. I'll be adding these small white patches in the ground area. While you're applying the solid white color, just make sure that you do not enter in the solid black lines. In case by mistake you enter towards the solid black lines, you can reapply the strokes that is completely fine. So you can observe how beautiful the entire ground area is looking right now. It is creating a nice contrast with the background color. I'll be adding some solid white color in the building structure that we have in the right hand side as well, near the post box. So we are almost done adding the solid white color. I'll be taking my black pen again, and I'll be adding a few more black lines. Where we have applied the solid white color. The black lines got a little bit less visible, so you can reapply the strokes in that particular area. This step is not compulsory to do, but in case you want to make your black strokes look a little bit more visible, you can do that. I'll be using my solid black marker with a thick tip to add a nice abstract background. No need to hurry at all. Try to apply the color in smaller portions. Use the tip of your marker to add the color carefully. While you're applying the solid black color, just make sure that you use the tip of your solid black marker carefully and make sure that you do not enter the building structure. Now, slowly, I'll be covering some area in the top most part as well. While you're even using a solid black marker with a thick tip. Always try to keep your hand very much loose and free. Now, to create some nice abstract solid black background in the right hand side also. I'll be adding these little strokes combining together, forming a nice outline, and then you can fill in solid black color in the inner portion. While you're applying the solid black marker, in case there is any space left in between. No need to worry about that. You can reapply the marker in that particular area. Just be a little bit careful near the outline of the building area. Make sure that your marker does not enter that particular area. So we are almost done creating an abstract background behind the building structure. Now, we are going to add few little black patches in the bottom portion as well. There is no specific way of applying it. You can add it wherever you want to. We are almost done creating a beautiful solid black texture. Now, I'll be using my black pen again, and I'll be just adding a few more solid black lines wherever there are these white patches. You can do this particular step if you want to. Or else, it is completely fine. Now, I'll be taking my round brush again and I'll be just mixing some solid white color with water. Now, simply tap your finger onto the brush and splatter some color in the background. No need to hurry at all. Just do this step in a very slow and steady manner. It is a very fun step to do. Similarly, we'll be taking some black color, mix it well with water. Now, slowly, tap your finger onto the brush and splatter some black color also. You can observe how beautiful all the elements combined together to form an aesthetic sketch. If you find that your color is not getting splattered that much, then you can add some more water in your color mixture in the color palette. So we are done with the entire painting. We'll be removing the masking tape carefully from the corners. Now, let me take you a little bit closer so that you can observe all the details carefully. Using some basic techniques to sketch and paint, we have created the entire painting. 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 of creating the class project. Now let us move towards the next painting. 14. Painting 8 - The Door: Hey, buddy, you're most welcome to the eighth painting, which is the door. It is the last class project. So as you can observe, I'm ready with my brown paper, and I'm going to start by creating a basic sketch using a simple pencil. So there is a simple semicircular shape on the topmost portion, followed by two vertical lines on either sides and a rectangular shape on the bottom portion. You can leave some space in between and draw the entire shape again to create the frame structure of the entire door. There are going to be a lot of staircase in the bottom portion. So I'm just adding two lines and perspective, followed by horizontal lines in between. So you just have to add these horizontal lines. No need to hurry at all. Try to draw in a very slow and steady manner. Now, once you are done adding these horizontal lines, we're going to add some trees and bushes in the left hand portion, so you can add these branches in random manner. So you can create a nice random outline of the entire bush in this manner. You can observe the way I'm moving my pencil. It is not at all compulsory for you to draw the exact shape of the bush that I have created. You can create your own composition also. In fact, you can decide the position of the bushes according to your convenience. I'll be adding few details in the frame of the door by adding these little lines in between. There are going to be two shutters basically and one simple rectangular shape on the topmost portion. We can add few more vertical lines to make the door look a little bit more attractive. You are free to explore and experiment. In fact, you can add as many as details as you want to using your simple pencil line. So we are almost done creating a basic sketch of the entire door. Now, we are going to use a simple marker to create an outline. I'll be using the tip of my marker to add a solid black line, which basically creates a bigger contrast with the background color. You just have to simply follow the pencil line. Also, apart from the pencil line, you can also add few additional strokes using your marker. It is completely fine. It will make the sketch look a little bit more attractive and aesthetic. Now, once we are done adding the outline to the bushes, I'm going to start with the urban element as well, which is the entire door and the staircase that we have created on the bottom portion. You can start from the topmost area. While you're using a marker, always try to keep your hand very much loose and free, no need to make it stiff. The more you'll move your hand, the better position you'll get to draw in a comfortable manner. Now, let us slowly move towards the inner portion of the door as well, where we have some more detailed elements. You can observe carefully the way I'm using the tip of my marker. Wherever you want to create a thicker line, try to apply some more pressure. In fact, you can reapply a few more strokes, and wherever you want to have a thin line, try to apply less pressure, use the tip of your marker. Just below the semicircular shape, we are adding these many vertical lines to create some nice details. And these vertical lines are an additional element that we have drawn using the marker. Now, slowly, we are going to add these horizontal lines, which are the staircase, basically. You can add some depth by creating some black strokes to make the staircase look a little bit more in depth and detail. Now, slowly, I'll be covering the area in the right hand side as well, using the tip of my marker. So we are almost done adding an outline using our marker. Now, I'll be using my simple black pen, which is having a thin tip, and we're going to add some nice depth to the entire sketch. By creating some horizontal and vertical lines, No need to hurry at all. Try to add these strokes in a very slow and steady manner. You can also add some slant lines in between. It is not at all compulsory to add these strokes in the exact same way I'm drawing right now. You can add them wherever you want to and you can add them according to your convenience. Just make sure that you try to keep the sketch a little bit in depth and detail. The more strokes you'll add, the better your entire sketch will look. You can observe I'm adding these vertical lines in the staircase to make them look a little bit more attractive. So we are almost done adding these beautiful strokes to the entire sketch. Now, similarly, we're going to add these strokes in the bushes that we have created on the left hand portion. You can add these strokes in certain portion only. No need to cover the entire bush. Now, we are almost done adding some depth and detail to the entire sketch. I'll be taking some solid white color in the color palette, mix it well with water. I'll be using my round brush of size three, and we're going to apply these random patches in the entire sketch, which will create a nice contrast with the solid brown background that we have and the outline which we have created using a black color. Whenever you want to paint in a smaller portion, always try to use the tip of your brush and apply less pressure so that you can apply the color in a smaller area in a comfortable manner. Also, whenever you're using a brush, try to keep your hand very much loose free. No need to make it very much stiff. Try to move your hand as much as possible so that it will help you a lot to paint in a comfortable manner. If you observe carefully, we have covered a lot of portion in the topmost part. Now, similarly, we are going to add nice details in the bottom portion as well. I've created these nice vertical lines, and I'll be covering the rectangular shape in the shutter as well. While you're applying the color, you can knowingly leave some space in between. It looks really nice and aesthetic. It makes your sketch look a little bit more classic and random. Also, one more thing that I would like to tell you all is that no need to worry about painting the sketch in the exact same way. I'm applying the color right now. You can paint the entire sketch according to your convenience. It is absolutely fine. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very 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. Also, in case you find that the saturation of the solid white color is a little bit less, then you can just simply dab your brush onto the tissue paper so that excess amount of water will be removed and you'll be able to get a noise, highly saturated white color. Now, we are going to simply add these random strokes in the staircase area. So I'm just randomly moving my brush just above the solid black color that I have applied in the staircase. You can carefully observe the way I'm using the tip of my round brush. Now, if you observe carefully, we are almost done adding a nice solid white patch to the entire sketch. Similarly, we are going to cover the bushes that we have created on the left hand portion. These steps are absolutely same. You just have to take some solid white color from the color palette. Apply it in the bushes and simply use the tip of your round brush carefully. In case you find that the color is getting finished from the brush, you can definitely take some more color from the color palette So we are almost done adding a nice solid white color to the bushes that we have created on the left hand portion as well. Now I'll be using my solid black marker to add a nice abstract background just behind the building structure, which is basically the door only. You can be a little bit careful near the outline of the entire building structure. So try to use the tip of your marker. Slowly try to cover the entire area, in case any space is left in between while you're applying the solid black color using your marker, you can reapply the strokes in that particular area. You can observe a beautiful contrast of the solid black color that we are applying right now, the white color that we have applied and the brown paper in the background. We are not going to cover the entire paper. We are just applying the marker in certain areas only. Even if you're using a thick solid black marker, try to keep your hand very much loose and free. The more you'll change the position of your hand, the better it will be for you to draw in a comfortable manner. Now, we are almost done applying a noise abstract background just behind the building structure. In case you find that there is any space left applying this beautiful solid black color. You can reapply the strokes in that particular area. I'll be taking some solid white color in the color palette, add a little bit of water, make a good composition of water and color together. Now, simply tap your finger onto the brush to splatter some color in this srandom manner. No need to hurry at all. It's a very fun and easy step. You'll definitely enjoy this particular step. Now, simply clean your brush and take some solid black color, make a good composition of black color and water together. Now again, tap your finger onto the brush and splatter some color around in the background. So we are done with the entire painting. Now I'll be removing the masking tape from the corners. And let me take you a bits so that you can observe all the details carefully. This is the last class project that we have created for 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 of creating the class project. Now let us move towards the next part. 15. Class Conclusion: Hey, every buddy, so I hope that you enjoyed the entire class and got to learn something new. Urban sketching is a very interesting topic when it comes to art. And while I was creating this particular class for all of you, I made any number of mistakes, and that is something that I always tell my students never to be afraid of making mistakes. Just enjoy the process of creating. 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. It would be really great if you leave a review for the entire class as it encourages me a lot and my class can reach many more students like you. One thing that I would like to tell you all is that no need to worry about painting and creating the class projects in the exact same way I have created. You can create your own composition of the class projects as well. It is completely fine. By the end of the class, you'll be having eight beautiful class projects based on urban sketching. At the end, I would like to say, keep learning, keep practicing. Thank you so much for joining the class and happy painting.
