FIRST COMPLETED SKETCHBOOK tour // travel & urban sketching // ink & watercolour

Описание: Welcome to a tour of my first completed sketchbook ever! This little a5 book was the companion to my recent dive into art, provoked by the urban sketching movement.

In the video I briefly explain what urban sketching is before taking you on a tour of everything I created in my first watercolour sketchbook. I'm thinking of it as my origin story because I hope to one day be a fully fledged and competent artist and look back on this video thinking "wow, I've come so far!" But we all have to start somewhere :)

In the video, I mention Anne-Laure aka. Following the White Rabbit on YouTube. I love her videos and her brain so I encourage you to check them out for a dose of her creative genius and some unavoidable smiles! Here is the figure drawing video by her that I talk about in my video:    • PEOPLE SKETCHING🚶🏻‍♂️FIGURE DRAWING with I...  

I also want to mention Taria from Urban Sketching World because her content and art are fantastic. Her videos were the first to teach me about urban sketching and they have been so so crucial to keeping me going and introducing me to so many techniques, materials and other artists. She is absolutely great - a brilliant artist and lovely human.
