Hi everyone,

I have just uploaded the recording from last night's urban sketching class to the library. It is the first video under the Line & Wash Header Here

I thought it was such a fun session. I absolutely love urban sketching, and if you are watching the recording later and joining in at your own pace, I just want to remind you that your lines do not need to be perfect. They do not need to be straight. The whole point is simply to enjoy the moment, notice what catches your eye, and quickly put it down on paper.

There are so many different styles of urban sketching. Some people enjoy working in a very meticulous and precise way, but for me it is all about messy lines, quick splashes of colour, and capturing the feeling of being somewhere rather than creating a perfectly accurate representation of what I…

Sorry I didn’t join in sooner, I haven’t been feeling very well and I always tend to mess things up when I'm under the weather. But this was a fun way to ease back into things. I loved the inspiration photos

Started Froggie week early lol. Today I felt like a blue frog instead of green frog. And it is so hot hear that even though my page is 19cm x 19cm one part of the frog dried before O could paint the whole frog I got blooms but I did not want blooms this time, so I tried to “fix” them. Not sure if it worked because now my frog is splotchy, but I’m okay with that. But I am happiest with the spirals of the snail shell on his head lol
