Your approach to urban sketching,breaking it down the way you did was very helpful, and inspiring. Thank you for this great video!!

[@Yohualli]

I’m trying to get into urban sketching, so I’ve been watching tons of videos, here on UA-cam. So far, your video is the one that I like the most. Easy to understand and without complicated rules. Made me wanna go out and paint right now. Danke 😄

[@porterman69]

I totally agree!! Your presentation, step by step was quite enjoyable. Your approach really does make, urban sketching much more approachable. I was inspired as well.

[@Sherlock2022]

I found it interesting that you left the sky blank; quite fitting for this. I’ve always been shown to put the sky washes in first.

[@JeffChorney]

Thanks Danny that was excellent, going out today and will use what I learned from you! 👍🇨🇦

[@artistravel]

Fantastic! Have fun! :)

[@sajananbalachandran1386]

Einfach ein sehr schönes Video. Die Atmosphäre ist einfach entspannt und ist schön sich anzuschauen mit dem sympathischen Künstler. Die Musik ergänzt das komplette Video und man nimmt wirklich sehr viele wertvolle Tipps mit, die man sofort umsetzen kann.

[@artistravel]

Herzlichen Dank, Sajanan!

[@lindathaxton1994]

Fun & good instruction/teaching - thank you for sharing!

[@artistravel]

Thanks! 🥰

[@FLYINGWARRIOR19661]

I there, thank you for this tutorial...you made it look simple....at first i was thinking my sketches were not detailed enough....but now i think it is my painting ...the painting itself is just flat..i have the colors in..but i do one pass on each section at least three times as you suggest. It doesn't pop like this one does. Also i have been doing either pencil or ink but not both....i see i need to start with pencil, then trace over that with a water proof ink, then move onto water color ...light to dark..at least 3 layers.....tyvm. Wish me luck lol.....Tom

[@artistravel]

Yes!!! You got it! Good luck with that!

[@antoniogilart]

A very nice sketch. Thank you for sharing and for your comments, Danny.

[@reinerf8993]

Super Künstler und ein schönes Video. Jetzt noch in Deutsch oder mit Untertieln und das ganze wäre perfekt.

Vielen Dank. Wir arbeiten daran! Schöne Grüße :)

Toll! Ein sehr kurzweiliges Videos mit einem sympathischen Künstler 🧑‍🎨 und guten Tipps (auch für Fortgeschrittene), z. B. zur Gestaltung des Himmels. Auch immer interessant: mit welchen Farben andere Schattenfarbe abmischen. Danke ☺️

[@koskey06]

I have trouble with values or contrast.. I lay a light wash and feel its to light so I darken it then end up with things mono tone...... I'm new to watercolor and art for that matter

[@artistravel]

I understand. Have you tried to wait until your first layer is dry? Otherwise your watercolor will mix up and end up being one color. You know? Try putting one layer first, then let it dry. For the other layers: try to mix new color shades! Just like in the video for the bushes. This will give your painting more depth! :) Let us know if this helped. Good luck 👍

[@gillianbc]

I especially like your foliage. I will give your steps a try. It makes sense to me - 3 passes from light to dark and then a few details.

[@artistravel]

Exactly! Go for it!

[@katja7042]

Thank you for this tutorial! As I love trying new techniques and things in painting, urban sketching is on my list next. With your steps it looked a lot of fun. All the best for you.

[@artistravel]

Wonderful, thank YOU!!!

[@chincilly]

Danke für dieses anschauliche Video. Deine Kunst, Deine Technik gefällt mir sehr sehr gut. Schade das dass Video nicht in Deutsch gedreht/gesprochen wird, da Du hier in Deutschland lebst, zeichnest und Kurse gibst .... Klar, Du hast auch englischsprachige Fans; aber die anderen auch. Ich freue mich immer Deine USKs zu sehen. Alles Liebe und Gute für Dich und dass Du auf Deinen schönen Reisen gesund bleibst. Beste Grüße aus NRW.

[@artistravel]

Vielen Dank! Wir arbeiten an den deutschen Untertiteln! :)

[@KristynaU]

Thanks a lot for your video, I also like your drawing very much. May I please ask you - do you wait for the first layer to be completely dry before you draw the second one (etc.) or is the first layer still a little bit wet? Thanks a lot and have a nice day! 😊

[@artistravel]

Hi Tyna! Danny always lets the layers dry before he starts another layer ;)

[@KristynaU]

Hi, thanks a lot for your quick answer and this helpful video! 😊

[@amandabartlett309]

Feel so lucky I found you! We have started an urban Sketching group in my town and we have a festival coming up where we have a booth. Hoping to teach some urban sketching basics. This was so helpful.

[@pabbl8087]

[@artistravel]

Danke für den Tipp! ;) Schau mal in die Videobeschreibung! 🙏🏼

[@artistravel]

[@daniellatersteeg4897]

tanx , very helpfull

[@Lacroix999]

I’m having a hard time with the purpose of urban sketching being having a story to tell when it’s just drawings of places and if you just list the location, that’s not telling much of a ‘story’. Can you explain this part more to me a little bit more? I’m new to all this so trying to understand it better and how this really differs from plein air painting.

[@pongpongpongpong787]

I'll keep this video this makes me clear things in my head thank you so much ❤️

[@artistravel]

[@Janartable]

Wow….i love this. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@artistravel]

Glad you like it! 🥰 Stay tuned for more!

[@ysbel]

Beautiful sketch but I must ask, Why don’t you like to sketch skies? That’s often my favorite part of sketching because I get to experiment with wet in wet and see the colors mix all by themselves. Plus it keys the values for the rest of the sketch.

[@mechadebzilla]

Thank you for sharing your process. I wonder why you use an additional palette rather than the Schmincke?

[@AbiNomac]

I love this. I love you explanation and advice. Thank You

[@artistravel]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lisamai7469]

Hallo ( = welches Buch von Hahnemühle wird denn hier verwendet? Würde mir das auch gerne kaufen

[@artistravel]

Hallo liebe Lisa! Danny sagt es im Video...Er verwendet das Aquarell Skizzenbuch von Hahnemühle mit 200g/qm schweres Papier!

[@HerArtnThoughts]

I really like this sketch and his art im general! It's so refreshing 🌿

[@barblallier9413]

Did you wait for each layer to dry in between? Or wet on wet? Love your style, tx!

[@artistravel]

Hey you! Danny did the layer technique, so yes: you need to wait in between until its dry :-)

[@barblallier9413]

Thanks, that's what I thought!

I wasnt sure what I was looking for when I started looking for how to do urban sketching and how to start my travel sketchbook. Not sure exactly what I was looking for, but I found it in your video. Thank you lol.

Beautiful work. Thanks

[@HarryHartmut]

Hallo !
Sehr schön und stimmungsvoll!
Könnte ich bitte die Marke/ Firma deines
Tuschefüllers und der Patronen dazu erfahren? Habe bisher mit Tuschestiften gezeichnet. Das waren aber alles Tuschen, die nicht wasserfeste waren.
Möchte gern nach deiner Anleitung hier arbeiten und solchen Tuschefüller mit der wasserfesten Tusche dazu anschaffen.
Beste Grüße! H.F.

[@Kehlchen75]

Hallo H.Fischer, bin zwar nicht Danny, benutze aber auch den ✒️ Und zwar ist es der Platinum Schreibtisch-Füllfederhalter, super fein. Allerdings ist er bei Amazon momentan nicht verfügbar. 🙍‍♀️
Man kann aber auch andere Füller benutzen, Lamy Safari z.b., mit Konverter und Tinte , sketchInk von Rohrer & Klingner. Die ist wasserfest und trocknet sehr schnell.

[@HarryHartmut]

@@Kehlchen75 Allerbesten Dank!
Werde mal sehen, was bestellbar/ bezahlbar und natürlich, was praktikabel für mich als Anfänger dieser schönen Zeichenkunst ist. Beste Grüße @ H. F

[@Kehlchen75]

@@HarryHartmut Nichts zu danken. 🙋‍♀️

@@Kehlchen75 Hallo!
Habe die drei Dinge (Lamy, Konv., Tinte) jetzt bestellt. Werde erst einmal die schwarze Tinte ausprobieren. Da waren viele Farben angeboten.
