He is capturing Piccadilly Circus, a road junction and public space of London's West End in the City of Westminster. In this tutorial he shows how to deal with all the complicated details of such a busy place in a few 'simple' steps. He uses various Pens and SCHMINCKE HORADAM watercolors. Let Ian take you on a creative journey!

    Ian Fennelly ist einer der Stars der weltweiten Urban Sketching Szene. Wir sind stolz darauf immer wieder mit ihm drehen zu können! Hier schildert er ganz allgemein seine Herangehensweise an komplexe Motive in der Stadt. Wie erfasst man ein Motiv wie trifft man Entscheidungen (was ist wichtig, was unwichtig), wie setzt man Aquarellfarbe ein ohne alles 'anzumalen'? Wer zeichnen, skizzieren und aquarellieren lernen will, sollte hier gut zusehen und vielleicht sogar einen Kurs mit Ian besuchen. Er ist ein absolut wunderbarer Kursleiter!

    It never fails to astonish me how with real professionals a painting starts off as if a drunken chicken danced over the sheet of paper, but in the end it all becomes whole and amazing and beautiful. Just incredible. Thank you so much.

    I've not tried sketching out in the open yet. When you said people say to you "are you an artist? You're not very good are you?" So funny, but what I dread most.
    Love how the imperfections make it prefect. Thank you sharing.

    Hi Ian, when I'm teaching drawing classes, I tell my students they have to learn to get comfortable with the chaos of creating. John Cleese gave a wonderful speech a number of years back where he talks about this chaos and how most people try to get out the creating stage as quickly as possible because it's incredibly uncomfortable. But if you can learn to play around and get more comfortable during this time, wonderful things can happen that you never could have foreseen. I try to remember that when I'm doing a demo that's going sideways...it ain't always easy...grin.

Also the little recap at the end, very nice touch. And your art style is amazing as well, I love the careful but still free combination of all the different mediums. I'm absolutely gonna subscribe to your channel now :)

    What stood out to me was that water colour provides "happy accidents" and in turn we are faced with problem solving and the opportunity to adapt to the moment we are creating. Thank you for your time and passion for the arts.

    Hi Ian I'm not a lover of the traditional watercolour cold press papers and find cartridge paper far more exciting though not really stable enough for heavy water use. What paper do you use and recommend as I know you use a smooth (hot press) paper. Any contribution to this question happily accepted. Bx
