There are scans, drawing, and tracing templates included as well for each demonstration to help you transfer your drawing over quickly and easily. You can follow along to my real- drawing and narration videos for all of these demonstrations.In this course, I explain every technique I use while I'm painting, such as using watercolor to paint shadows on a building.

This can be a scene featured in one of the course demonstration videos or based on one of your own photographs or scenes you have observed outside.You can also refer to the scanned drawing/painting templates attached below which will allow you to trace the drawings if you choose to do so. I recommend drawing each scene free hand. Drawing is an important step in improving your painting skills. This provides you with an opportunity to compose and plan your painting. Once you've finished the drawing, use the watercolor steps and processes included in the course demonstrations to complete your painting.Materials:Use any permanent black ink pens, watercolor paper, and brushes you have available. I recommend:· Lightfast/Permanent ballpoint ink pen (0.5mm nib), or set of permanent pigment liners· 100% cotton watercolor paper or sketchbook· Watercolor Paints - primary colors will be sufficient (yellow, red, blue).· Watercolor Brushes - mop brush and a variety of round and flat brushes.Getting Started:Review the course demonstrations first. There are 10 different urban landscapes that you can draw and paint from. You can also the tracing templates to transfer over your drawing.Looking to sketch and paint another scene? Research some free reference photo websites, pick one of your own reference photos, or simply find an outdoor location where you can sit and paint. Using the steps and processes included in this course, create your own unique urban sketch.Sharing Your Work:Share your final illustration and progress shots with the course by uploading them to the Q&A or discussions.
