Urban Sketching: Learn to use Wet-on-Wet 'Direct' Watercolours and Ink

Thanks Toby! Your feedback is soooo helpful and very kind. have just started dabbling in watercolor (I'm a musician really and opening up to this whole new world of painting). I def need help with the trees! Any ideas of how to develop trees would be fantastic! Look forward to more of your classes.

Hi Tess! Love the sketch :)There is a real vibrancy and looseness to it, it's really wonderful. And the ink is really well done to be juft enough to bring it together.You've done your trees very differently to me - that's not a bad thing, just a note - it's a lovely technique to dapple different patches of colour like that!One thing, perhaps, you could experiment with is, in places perhaps the colour is quite thick. For example on the left side of the tower. Leaving noticeable painterly edges.Again, this isn't necessarily a bad thing - it feels more like an acrylic or gouache painting in some ways, contrasting with how you've got a soft wash in the left most building (under the tree where the cream and indigo/grey blend together).It's a lovely sketch and you have a great style, so most importantly keep creating!

Thanks Toby was such a fun and helpful project!  Would love any feedback you may have.
