About This Class
This class is for people who don’t know where to start with urban sketching, for people who are struggling with their first architecture sketches but also for all those who just would like to draw a nice Dutch house with me. I'll show you, step by step, how to make a beautiful watercolor sketch and I'll give you a lot of tips that will make your urban sketching process much easier and more fun.
For practice, we will make a sketch in three steps. You may use my references or your own photographs. This class is easy to follow for beginners. Even if you have little drawing experience or you are not confident about your skills, don't worry about the outcomes. Just allow yourself to play and experiment!
♥ I hope to see your beautiful sketches in the Project Gallery! ♥
If you have any questions or need help with your sketches, please, don't hesitate to contact me on the Discussions Page, and, of course, I will also appreciate all your suggestions and feedback.
Enjoy the class!

Meet Your Teacher
Hello, creatives! My name is Julia Henze. I'm a freelance illustrator and urban sketcher living and working in a village with a name that nobody can pronounce, Bergschenhoek, in The Netherlands.
I love to share my passion for drawing and urban sketching with you, and show you how to make the drawing process easier and more fun. All my Skillshare classes are very easy to follow and perfect for beginning artists. But also advanced students can find interesting tips and tricks.
Visit my Instagram for inspiration and drawing tutorials. Tag me (@julia_henze) when you post a sketch made with one of my classes and use a hashtag #JuliaHenze_Skillshare. I'll be very happy to see your artworks!
