Loose Ink & Watercolor Sketching Tutorial l How to Sketch a Café

Urban sketching is usually done on-location with a group of sketchers but over the last few years there have been many sketchers doing virtual urban sketching, some even using Google maps(mostly triggered by lockdowns), thus the term “urban sketching at home”. #uskathome
One of my favourite things to do over the past year has been sketching with ink and watercolor. For me, it is really relaxing and stress-free art.
Freedom to express yourself and permission to revel in the beauty of a place. What’s not to love?
I hope you enjoy sketching as much as I do with these tips and tricks.

Thank you everyone for all the love for this video! I can’t believe this has reached so many people over the past few months🤯 As I mentioned before in a subsequent video, I would like to clarify that technically, urban sketching is done on-location, however the time when I was doing this sketch and video, “urban sketching at home” was trending due to covid lockdowns and people being stuck at home and not being able to go outside to sketch.#uskathome I do sketch(urban sketch) outside when I have the opportunity, but when I don’t have hours of free time to travel and sketch outside, I go back to sketching at home and imagining I am in those places in the pictures. I love urban sketchers, I respect and look up to many of them, and would love to join on-location sketching with real people more often. It is amazing to be able to meet so many beautiful and kind souls on this channel. Your words of encouragement and sharing of experiences means a lot, and I hope we can continue to grow and inspire each other❤️

One thing I would like to say for beginners is don't be afraid of making mistakes. Cause as a beginner you can never run away from them even professionals make mistakes. And that what makes the artist to grow. For beginners like me tend to get very anxious about their art which result in even poor quality of art than they can do. For me when i stopped caring about the outcome but rather tried to understand the process and tried to learn from my mistakes that's when my art started to improve. We'll I'm not a professional so it's just my POV.

Sometimes Making mistakes can add to the depth and you have no idea how many times ill be half done with a piece, hate it and want to quit or start over. Its getting past those feelings because EVERY SINGLE TIME ive just pushed past that ugly phase by the time i actually finish, I LOVE it

I have never thought of laying down washes of colour first, then drawing in the lines, before going in again with further details. This would be helpful, especially when you have time limits when you're out and about doing urban sketching! Thank you, I will try this next time!

I’ve gone back in history to find this video and hopefully encourage you further in what you do with my comment. Your video randomly popped up on my Home Screen and I’ve immediately fell in love with urban watercolor/ink sketching. Within days I’ve bought all the supplies I could get my hands on (I’ve not done any painting since highschool) and finished my first paining yesterday. You’ve changed things for me! Thanks a lot for this.

So I tried this today ( never paint with water colors before)and the result was just mind-blowing. I followed your technique and drew the exact way. Although I used different color combinations because I have limited colors but the painting came out with such a nice combination of colors. I really appreciate your technique which is so easy to follow step by step.

I was inspired to buy a dip pen after seeing this video. I've never used a fountain pen or dip pen of any kind before. I went with the speedball sketching pen set and black velvet waterproof india ink. So far, I have only tried the smallest point nib in the package, but I am absolutely in LOVE with the way the ink flows off the tines and deposits onto the paper. So SMOOTH and the line is so so fine! Easily down to a 0.01 line. And using this along with my watercolor markers... I can't get home from work soon enough!
