Looking to get started with urban sketching or drawing/painting building facades? Have you already started with this type of art, but want to learn strategies, techniques, and tips to help you achieve great results more consistently? Confused as to how artists use reference photos, while changing the composition and bringing themselves into their art?

If you answered 'yes' to any of these, this course is for you. 


✱ What you'll learn:

  • Essential questions to ask and things to look for in reference photos (or scenes you have in front of you in real life) so that you can improve the final composition and bring yourself into your art
  • Helpful tips to avoid overly describing elements and to arrive at a balanced mixed-media artwork
  • How to create your preliminary pencil drawing on a separate sketchbook (and why this is so helpful)
  • How to transfer using tracing paper 
  • The importance of line weight variation when drawing with pen and ink 
  • Must-know watercolor painting tips for arriving at loose, fresh results
  • How to enhance highlights and do splattering with white gouache 
  • Much more!
