Larry Lane, with his background in architecture, brings a precision and attention to detail that's truly captivating. His sketches offer a structured, almost blueprint-like approach that adds an intriguing twist to urban landscapes.

Ian Fennelly, on the other hand, is a free-spirited artist whose sketching style is all about capturing the essence and character of a place. He breathes life into his sketches with vibrant watercolors, using loose lines and washes that beautifully convey the energy and ambiance of the Village. As he films for a NYC sketching workshop (here's a link to his workshop website: www.urbansketchcourse.com/urb...) , Ian offers insights into his artistic process, showing you how to infuse your sketches with personality.

@@UrbanSketchPad-cx1ep I'm a beginner at this. Just learning, and trying some stuff. I like the pen and wash, and just about any sort of watercolor. Also, acrylic on canvas. I want to do some cards for Christmas. I'm sure that I'll enjoy and learn from anything you do. Thanks. (Edit: Re topics -- I like the urban stuff. Buildings, cars, etc.)

Awesome work but you need a defuser for your light couldn’t see your picture as you colored

[@UrbanSketchPad-cx1ep]

You are so right! As I was sketching and water coloring, I saw Ian's assistants holding up shading devices. I didn't understand, until I started to edit my video - which was too late to correct - why it is so important to do so. Keep in touch and I hope to hear from you again.
