Hello my friends and welcome back to my Skillshare channel!

I'm Elisabetta, an Italian Watercolor artist. I believe that anyone can paint (actually, you can learn at any age!) and that practice is far more important than talent. Talent is completely overrated!

Today I'm taking you to Italy to sketch together a lovely street scene: a man buying fresh pasta from an authentic traditional shop in Lanzo, and old and beautiful village near Turin my hometown. I visited this lovely village last summer and I took plenty of pictures, so let's sketch one together today!

This class is meant for intermediate students and maybe not for absolute beginners in watercolor, but it can be your first Urban Sketching experience!. It's a busy scene, full of details, but I will take you through every single step so it is going to be super easy and friendly!

In this class you will learn:

how to simplify a complex scene
how to sketch every detail that you decide to include in the scene first in pencil and then in ink
how to easily accentuate light and shadow to bring life to your sketch
how to layer and vary colours and values to add interest
How to mix darks and different type of greys
how to let go perfectionism
how to use your pen to add final touches
how to have fun with a complex scene without getting lost!

I am sure you will enjoy my new class: as all my classes I try to be educational without forgetting to have fun! I believe in learning by doing so there will be very little theory but a lot of practical examples.

Having said this....grab you supplies!! I can't wait to start sketching with you!
