Do you want to learn to paint loosely without fear of making mistakes? Then, this class is for you!

In this class, I will show you a gouache technique I use for most of my urban sketches. It not only helps me make my architectural sketches look whimsical and impressive, but it also releases the pressure of perfection and reduces the fear of failure. I'm step-by-step building up the sketch from a very loose first layer and refining it along the way by adding details and shadows. And, as you might know, refining is usually much easier than drawing or painting something at once.

I will start by taking you through the tools and materials I'm going to use and my suggestions for you. Then, we will do some color mixing, put a color palette together and play a bit with gouache and colored pencils. And finally, we will create a finished artwork - a beautiful window sketch. I will take you through the step-by-step process of making a loose and lively drawing and give you many tips and tricks. By the end of this class, you will have more knowledge and confidence in creating an impressive gouache and colored pencils sketch.

This is an excellent class for people who are relatively new to gouache or have more experience but want to learn painting in this style. And, even if you have no experience or you're not that confident about your drawing skills, don't worry about the outcomes and allow yourself to play! Following my instructions, you will be able to create wonderful artwork.

I'll be happy to see your work-in-progress and the final sketches in the Project Gallery and give you feedback. Please, let me know if you want to get more profound feedback. I know not everyone likes it.

♥ Enjoy and have fun! ♥
