Stylised Urban Sketching Made Simple (Eleanor Doughty)

Learn to give your urban sketches a unique, stylised quality in this art class preview with artist Eleanor Doughty (@herbcoil). She’ll show you how she simplifies the complexity around us and turns it into a charming urban sketch. You’ll learn to work with a reference photo, starting with an ink drawing and focusing on creating exciting and precise shapes. Eleanor will finish her sketch with a limited watercolour palette, creating a vibrant and atmospheric scene.

Topics Covered:

• Holding your pen loosely
• Inking effectively
• Following simple rules of perspective
• Using black watercolour to add value
• Finalising with a white gel pen for final details.
