Why you NEED to think in SHAPES - Make Sketching Easy!
Thanks for tuning in to watch my urban sketching, ink and watercolour tutorial! Don't forget to check out my channel where I have hundreds of different urban sketch tutorials, as well as other watercolour and ink sketching guides for everyone from beginners to more advanced!

When I reach my goal I'll upgrade my sketching tutorials with a new camera and use my old camera to give an extra view point in my videos! Perhaps my face, perhaps my watercolour palette, or some close ups of my process!
Shapes are absolutely fundamental in almost all forms of art. And this is never more true than in sketching, drawing and urban sketching.
To break down a big complicated scene into shapes means you can take control of your art, make decisions on simplification vs detail and start to get to grips with proportions, perspective and other things that make your sketches and art look great.
This class is a excerpt from one of my skillshare classes, recently released. This class has 11 lessons in it, and focusses on 'Direct Watercolour and Ink Sketching' - using watercolours straight onto the paper with no ink or pencil lines, instead, adding ink after the watercolours to bring structure whilst celebrating the uniqueness of watercolour paints.
As such, this lesson looks at shapes in both ink sketching AND in watercolour painting - and you know what? They're still the same - shapes are shapes no matter how you paint them.
What we discuss in this lesson is simply ways to make finding shapes easy, to look for the biggest shapes and also recognise that details like windows - well, they're just small shapes too.
I talk about this concept in all of my sketches and I though it was about time that I just did a brief explanatory video to make the point even clearer!
