Welcome to this Urban Sketching class, for beginners - using pen and watercolour, ink and wash techniques that are easy to master. Using just four colours, to create a rich and vibrant scene.

If you think urban sketching is complex - then think again!

In this class I'll show you how to tackle urban scenes, starting with this lovely shopfront sketch, in five simple steps, using a really minimalistic set of sketching supplies. The same supplies that I use everyday either at home or out and about to make my urban sketches.

Aims of this class

Everything here is designed to make life easy and confidence boosting, with a series of steps with a clear purpose so you can understand as you sketch why you’re doing it.

Within this class we’ll cover…

The importance of simplifying through shapes
Understanding how to spot mistakes, and accept them as a beautiful part of sketching
How to layer watercolours easily, to create rich vibrant colours
How to add finishing flourishes like splashes to your sketch

Most of all, I want to show you that urban sketching with pen and watercolour, or ink and wash, is fun, approachable and achievable.

Here is the style that we'll be sketching in today :)

Confidence boosting class!

The best and most common feedback I get is that my classes are confidence boosting, and really help people to free up their sketching. To stop judging mistakes, and start creating and enjoying art.

I absolutely love this feedback, because it is what I think art and creativity should be all about.

So, underpinning all of my lessons is that I want you to leave relaxed, enthusiastic and motivated to get out and sketch.

If you enjoy the class, please let me know by leaving a review – it really means the world to me, and helps spread the word to other people too!

Happy sketching!
