Working on a collaged background adds a new dimension to your urban sketches or journal. You might think that preparing and drying collage while you are out and about is too messy or long-winded, but it is simple to prepare multiple pages in advance and then to choose one which suits your subject at a later date. In this two part series, I will show you how to prepare the collage and then different ways on working on it. In part 1 I use a fineliner (MIcron) pen and watercolour and in part 2 I use a dip pen and walnut ink. The two images are from a visit to York, which is just teeming with beautiful buildings to draw. I will put them on the community tab of this channel, in case you want to have a go. If you do, I'd love to see, so please tag me if you share on social media
The journal I am using is handmade. It's very easy to do and does not include any stitching: • How to make a watercol...

You can find lots of urban sketching films on the Urban Sketching playlist and lots of journal films on the Journaling playlist.

I always enjoy your videos, Liz, and I learn so much. I love the way you chat while you work, it's fun and you're great company! Thank you ❤
Thank you! I can chat while I’m painting, but not while I’m writing!
Im saving chocolate wrappers from now on!!😄
Any excuse!!
Loved this video and learnt so much. Really liked the random nature of the paper and how it is a loose interpretation. I’m definitely going to try this technique. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful! I like the extra dimension it brings to a simple sketch
Love this technique Liz. 10 minutes?!! I’d still be worrying about where the horizon line was. 😂
it is far more forgiving than you think!
Love this! Thanks Liz!
You are so welcome!
Excellent tutorial! Love the neutral colors with the pops of bright orange. 😍
Thanks so much 😊
I am fortunate enough to live about a 20min train journey from York and yes I agree with you it is full of lots of fantastic buildings perfect for urban sketching! Thank you so much for sharing your techniques with us ❤.
you are so lucky! it’s a beautiful city!
This is genius! I've trying to learn how to line sketch and add watercolour, but not staying within ths lines. Tks x
starting with watercolour and then doing line work is another way of overcoming the urge to paint within the lines
This is such an inspirational video. There are no mistakes, just fun to be had. I just recently followed one of your videos to make a journal and I want to apply this lesson to one or two of my pages. Thank you, the result of your collage looks fabulous.
Definitely lots of fun to be had!
Thank you. I will have to go look and find this view next time I'm in York.
you are spoilt for choice in York!
I think it would have been better the other way round, placing the shapes of the paper to match the shapes in the photo. This would acted as a guide for the pen work, making it more 3D. The round paper matched the top of the window.
Of course you can do it either way - personal preference. However I wanted to demonstrate that the papers do not have to guide the pen work (which would be the more expected route). Part of the point of the film is that you might prepare the collage before you go out sketching and choose to work on top of it out in the field. You are highly unlikely to take collage papers and glue with you out and about and wait for it to dry....
Love this Liz! Thanks for a great tutorial and fabulous ideas.
You are so welcome!
I loved this video! You inspire me to try these techniques in my art journal. I went to York on a school field trip decades ago as a child and there was so much to see then. I wish I had some reference photos from that time
I remember going as a child with my father and got travel sick on the bus…happy days
how fun
it is!
Sure do love the look of this!
it adds a great dimension
Oh that turned out great! I was wondering how well the various types of collage papers were going to work out with the watercolor painting. Would they be absorbent or repellent. Definitely a great addition for textures & colors to the finished piece. Thanks for sharing this video! 🥰
The matte gel medium is pretty good at sticking and sealing.
I didn’t realize you could put watercolor over the top of gel medium. I would have thought it would repel unless you put watercolor ground over it. I know the color sheets are not traditional watercolor. Do you think regular watercolor paint would also work?
it did repel slightly so I had to keep persevering. As it was just general colour it didn’t matter. … added texture!
So nice👏❤️
Thanks 🤗
Love this but all I could think of is, what if I screw up using the pen……oh dear, I have become pencil sketch dependent. Lol
honestly, it’s more forgiving than you think. But use a pencil if you want. There are no rules
@@LizChadertonArt thank you
I will try it! How long does the watercolor used to dry on top of the collage?
that’s impossible to answer! How warm is it where you are? is it humid? how much water have you used? what’s the collage made of…..
@@LizChadertonArt😁😁😁 yes, you are right. Silly question 🙈
@@charlottealtmeppen7833 not silly…just impossible!
I wonder what it does mean:
"The sky is always orange in York."
???????
Is this a common english idiom ???
You know I´m no native english speaker.
I forgot:
Greetings from the continent !
🙂
I was being silly…
@@LizChadertonArt so there is no certain meaning ?
None at all - sorry to disappoint ! @@swyntopia
@@LizChadertonArt Thank you for the information.
See you at later vids of yours ! ( is this sentence english ? )
🙂
