Soluble Ink and Watercolour - Urban Sketching for Beginners

Thanks for tuning in to watch my urban sketching, ink and watercolour tutorial! Don't forget to check out my channel where I have hundreds of different urban sketch tutorials, as well as other watercolour and ink sketching guides for everyone from beginners to more advanced!

If you'd like to support my channel you can buy me a 'Coffee' on KoFi - ko-fi.com/tobyurbansketch
When I reach my goal I'll upgrade my sketching tutorials with a new camera and use my old camera to give an extra view point in my videos! Perhaps my face, perhaps my watercolour palette, or some close ups of my process!

So this is rapidly becoming my favourite simple technique for urban sketching.

Instead of sketching our lines first, we take our watercolours and go straight for it. Capturing our shapes and colours and the light on the page with those loose brush strokes.

Afterwards we can enforce some structure on the page, using a fountain pen with soluble ink to grab those shapes, suggest some details and finish off our sketch.

This technique can feel scary to start with, those colours can look like they're out of control, but they ARE NOT! A little practice and faith, and you'll be sketching away in no time producing lovely loose light and airy sketches every time!

My aim is to make urban sketching fun and interesting, take away the stress of perfectionism and instead enjoy exploring different techniques with a variety of loose sketches like this.

As an urban sketcher I'm at my happiest when I can pass on the joy of simple and fun sketching techniques!
