Sketching on Toned Paper: an 8-minute sketch.

- In this video, we talk about using toned mixed media paper for urban sketching: what kind of paper to use, why it is fun, and also what kind of pencils will work well with this paper.
Technically speaking, mixed media means that you use more than one sketching medium in one sketch. So if you use watercolors in combination with fineliners and colored pencils, your sketch is already mixed media. Toned mixed media paper works great with pencils, ink, acrylic markers, pastels, and gouache, but not with watercolors or alcohol-based markers.
In the Mixed Media Adventure in Brave Brushes Studio, we practice sketching on toned paper. Join us to take part in this Adventure and get access to all our other courses: bravebrushes.com/

I'm sure Morocco is a wonderful place but that photo was taken in Spain. It's the Torre del Oro (The Gold Tower) in Seville, in the south of Spain. They say it is named Gold Tower because it was there were they stored the gold that came from America on ships that made all the way up the river Guadalquivir in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Lovely drawing, by the way.
Thank you very much for your comment, explanation and compliment! We found out where it is after taking this video. Lately I watched a whole series on Netflix that look place in Sevilla and they showed this tower like every 10 minutes. I will never forget it now😅 Pretty stupid of me not to check it out before. Anyway, thanks again! Glad to hear you liked the drawing☺️♥️

10:06 amazing how excellently Julia grabs the important parts of a scene, this is not easy: "If you want to draw a realistic picture, maybe it's a better idea to take a photo (with your phone)" Absolutely the most important question when I reached a point after two years in my "art-making" journey. In the good old times before photography was invented the primary job for artists was to paint realistic portraits, landscapes. I have an idea why abstract art became rapidly the mainstream quickly just after photography was invented? Just take the example of Picasso, he was a brilliant realistic painter, in his early years, but after photography was invented, he was living in Paris, and quickly he found his totally new ways. He and his fellow painters didn't want to compete with phtographers.
Miklos, thank you so much for your comment! I've never thought about it this way, but I think you are right! I googled around and found out that while there is no direct relationship between the invention of photography and the coming of art styles like Impressionism, photography had a profound and unexpected effect on painting. It raised questions about the artist's role in realism and inspired some artists to push beyond realism, while others moved away from perceptual realism altogether. That’s so interesting!
@henze This is not completely "from my brain": when I learned the history of photography together with art history in a photography school, the teacher clearly explained how drasticly declined the need for portrait painters when phtography (even in its early BW forms) arrived to the masses via photo-studios in every big cities. George Klös, my hero, for example, in Budapest, made several thousands of portraits in 1890's and early 1900. Even the rich and big names went to his studio to get photographed.
... and one more thing@@julia_henze in early photography every piece of picture was a unique piece of art in itself, silver plates or glass plates with silver nitrate collodion, at that time photography wasn't of that cheap, dull, digital nature as today.
