Urban Sketching With Minimal Supplies

Urban Sketching With Minimal Supplies

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Let's take urban sketching to a whole new level in this week's Draw Tip Tuesday!

Who says you need a truckload of gear for urban sketching? Come with me to the park with just a pen, water brush, and watercolor pencil.

We'll explore drawing nature in the city park, while embracing wonkiness and celebrating every mark we make. From sketching leaves to splashing reflections and yummy markmaking... it's all about the process. Take time for yourself and your sketchbook - without any overwhelm about which tool to choose.

Get creative with minimal tools and maximum fun!

Grab your sketchbook and play.

Materials used in this video:

  • Handbook journal - Watercolor pocket panorama, 3.5”x8.25” from the travelogue series

  • Sailor fude fountain pen with 55degree calligraphy nib, with watersoluble black ink

  • Caran d'Ache Supracolor II soft watercolor pencil, black

  • Pentel Aquash waterbrush

Your assignment this week:

Select a set of maximum 3 tools, and fill a page in your sketchbook using them.
Have fun!
