Description
I want to inspire you and encourage you to start using a sketchbook, which is one of the best ways to rapidly improve your art and develop your skills. A sketchbook will soon become your new best friend as you use it to record the world around you and capture those precious moments.
In this course I will guide you through what I think are the best materials to use and I'll show you various methods for sketching and also various creative ways to use a sketchbook. We will work in pencil, pen, pen and wash, and watercolor. Watch over my shoulder as I paint and sketch and explain how to get the best from your materials.
The 26 videos include such things as starting a sketchbook, using it to help you plan paintings, to beat painter's block, and to record your trips away. I'll show you different portable painting set-ups, including the simplest palette ever! I even show you a light and practical home-made easel. There are videos demonstrating quick ways to capture buildings and people, and how to avoid chasing the sun. If you don't know where to start, then I'll give you ideas for subject matter, and how to simplify the scene in front of you. Plus much more!
Most of all I want to excite you about the adventure you will go on as you regularly use a sketchbook. I truly believe it will transform your art - I know it has transformed mine!
All the materials and equipment you need is described in the course, so don't go shopping until you see what I recommend and what may be the best choice for you.
