Drawing On Location (a.k.a. Urban Sketching)

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Today, I want to take you on location and show you how and where you can get started when drawing a scene on location. Also known as Urban Sketching.

I took a picture of the process every two minutes. I did that instead of filming it. Seeing the process in increments like that, instead of witnessing the drawing growing on video, helps you to understand how I built this drawing.
Of course there aren't any rules, when it comes to capturing your view. Next time I would probably take a completely different approach. There is not one way to do this (and isn't that awesome?)

I am also discovering the downsides and the upsides of a small sketchbook that I finally took off the shelf and cracked open to use.

Materials used in this video:
-Stillman& Birn Delta Series Mixed Media Sketchbook, 5.5''x 3.5'' / 14 x 8.9 cm
-Sailor Fude Profit Demannen fountain pen filled with water resistant Platinum Carbon black ink
-Holbein colored pencil Luminance red
-Daniel Smith watercolors
-Pentel Aquash waterbrush

In April 2024, I am hosting an awesome workshop week along with my friend Cynthia Morris, called Capture The Lisbon Wow. For information and enrollment: https://www.originalimpulse.com/captu...

Your assignment for this week:
Go and draw on location. Have your very own sketch adventure. Maybe you could even do it with a friend and make it a sketch date!
Have fun!
