Join me on a journey through your comfort zone as we explore the world of fast and fluid sketching. I will help you create bright and bold artistic interpretations of the city through location-based observation. This course will help you develop a much looser and quicker sketching and painting style through developing and practicing a range of key areas:
- Rhythmic line work in pen
- Bold use of water colour
- Scene simplification and composition
- Dramatic skies and movement
- Contrast and negative space
