    The loose urban sketches are great. Trick is not to complicate it with detail, yet show interesting highlights. And I think you have it, Scottie.

  • @SteviePaints
    @SteviePaints Рік тому +18

    Rather than markers, I use an inexpensive set of pan watercolors (my artist grade watercolors are too intense for this), and I apply with a water brush. The water brush allows me to apply a thin layer of color without putting too much water on the page.

    I've followed Albert for years. I purchased his course the second I saw that he released it. He is indeed a great artist/sketcher. I love it how a good artist (you) can watch a tutorial once or twice and improve immediately. just goes to show that learning 1 type of art will definitely help with other types. Love the way your sketch turned out. :)

    • @SketchingScottie
      @SketchingScottie  2 роки тому +2

      that’s good to hear you’re a big fan too! How did you go with the course? Have you had time to complete the final project?
      Thanks so much for the positive feedback too 😊. Yes it’s interesting how different types of art can support each other. I’ve even been trying my old black pencils today and can see how using ink pens for a while can change the way I sketch with pencils!

      @@SketchingScottie I have not done his final project. I've been urban sketching for about 3 years. So i've developed my own style. I do incorporate some of alberts sketching techniques into my sketches. but I do try to make it my own. I mostly watch his course for the marker coloring techniques. markers have a very unique look compared to watercolor. So thats what I am mostly trying to incorporate into my sketches right now. I love to sketch in pencil but I also love to sketch with ink. and the same happens to me.. when I go back to the other.. I notice that things look different in a good way. 1 helps the other.. and vise versa. :)

But the course looked super interesting. So i bought it. I just finished the course tonight. And then i re watched this video afterward. So, ive ordered some markers and a white marker and im going to draw one house a day for at least 30 days. Im looking forward to learning and developing my own style. Thanks for all you do. Im a big fan.

    • @SketchingScottie
      @SketchingScottie  2 роки тому +1

      🙏🏼 🤗 many thanks! Yes that's what I thought when I saw Albert's work too! Actually I think part of the watercolor look comes from the Moleskine Art sketchbook as the edges of the marker lines fade into the page a bit and is held nicely by the paper (stayed wet). When I layered different colored markers on top it mixed well. I usually get that streaky marker look on my other paper which I don't like 😂. All the best!

      I did. Seems I need to work on my perspective fundamentals. Showing depth and angle is trickier than it looks ! Lol.

      @Cosmic Nomad yes especially with Alberts style being very impressionistic. The vanishing points very exaggerated. You could try a straight, front on view of a building like this?

    I'm a huge fan of any tips on how to loosen up. I love the concept of suggestion rather than precision. I have not used markers, which may tempt me to stay in the lines which I don't want to do. Will check out his course. This was a very helpful review!
