Simplifying Complexity with ink and watercolour - An Urban Sketching Tutorial
Today we are sketching a gorgeous little scene from Hydra, a small island near Athens.
This is a beautiful little sketch across two pages of my watercolour sketchbook. We use ink and watercolour techniques, with loose but vibrant colours.
Along the way we can make decisions, change positions of objects in our scene, and generally have a bit of fun chopping changing and moving things around! And we will, of course, still end up with a lovely sketch.
We are using loose and vibrant colours, on top of a wobbly and interesting pen sketch.
The sketch aims to get the biggest shapes, and pick out key features. By manipulating the positions of different features on the page, and suggesting details, and adding or eliminating other parts of the reference, we can make a potentially challenging image so simple to sketch and really get stuck in and enjoy the process.
We even add in a few people, and enjoy adding colours to them to make them an extra feature of the scene.
The colours build on the image, they don't overpower but are there to highlight key parts, bring a bit of life, and shadows also create lovely shapes.
