URBAN sketching. FAST & FUN basic building blocks. PART 1

UPDATED 2022. A great course to get you started

REVIEW: 'I really liked this class. The explanations were easy to follow. It all seems possible to do after watching this simplification of the process.' Liz

This type of 'pen and wash' drawing and painting, is a simple way to get ideas, memories and other little illustrations down in a sketchbook, quickly and in a fun style. This playful approach gives you a 'feel good' factor with no expectations. It is NOT a learn how to draw and paint course.

If the thought of learning to paint with watercolour paints is overwhelming, this could be a way to break you in gently, to see how you like working with this medium in a relaxed way.

This course can be taken on THREE levels.

1. Learn how to sketch quickly without the constraints of any rules. Here you are not aiming for a realistic representation, or a painting style, you are just aiming to create fun images of what you see around you, quickly. 

2. It can really help those of you who overthink your painting, it will help you with drawing decision making.

3. It is also great for the budding painter to practise and to get into the habit of keeping a sketchbook for gathering information in preparation for painting watercolour pictures.

Here I simply give you a 'how to get started' approach.' It is a simple and brief course for you to take what you want to make holiday memories or perhaps illustrating thoughts through a challenging period in life in your journal. Or better still to spur you on to learn to paint with watercolours in a more traditional style and start painting pictures

It is a stand alone art form, do with it as you will but most of all have fun.

• Why choose one of my courses?

  Because, as a self taught artist I understand how a lot of people feel about their creative work, sometimes anxious, sometimes overwhelmed and often that it's not 'good enough'. I will hold your hand as you overcome these fears as I offer a friendly, relaxed and sensitive teaching style.

  I also have years of experience of teaching people of all levels both in person and via the internet.

  Do one of my courses and you will feel as if I am in the room with you every step of the way.

Enjoy your painting, love Nicola
