BEGINNERS GUIDE TO SKETCHING OUTSIDE - From what to pack, to a detailed step by step tutorial

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!

Urban sketching is all about getting outside, sketching en plein air, on location and making the most of the beauty not just of the scenery, but the whole atmosphere.

If you're worried about sketching outside, or don't know where to start then watch this video!

I'll show you everything I take with me - from pens to watercolors, water pot to water bottle, and my paper and sponges. And I'll talk to you about how I cope with the unique challenges that plein air sketching provides, including:

- Getting a good composition
- Using thumbnails
- Simplifying
- Changing your colour process
- Adding texture
- Making your pen work characterful
- Having fun doing it all!

If nothing else, you can at least sit back and listen to 40 minutes of birdsong accompanying my sketching :)

Enjoyed hearing your comments as you problem solved during the sketch. It’s the thoughts of the artist as they develop their work that is so valuable to the student artist

Really appreciate all your beginner level tutorials! Adding the line work on top of your tree made it really special, great technique!

Hi Toby, thanks for this and all of your videos. I have been struggling to give myself permission to be less structured with my art and I really feel like I can do that now and feel brave enough to paint with more freedom
