Urban sketching without greenery?! No way! All my previous urban sketching classes were about drawing architecture – from doors to entire streets, with or without perspective. Now it’s time to take a step and add something green to our sketches. In this class, I’ll cover everything you need to start off on the right foot, so you can learn the basics of drawing greenery in an easy and enjoyable way.
The lessons in this class are designed to help you learn how to draw greenery, how to integrate it in an urban scene and develop your own style of drawing greenery. Every lesson ends with some exercises that will help you improve your drawing skills. And, of course, there are a lot of inspiring examples and useful tips for you.
In this class you will:
- Learn the general rules of drawing greenery in an urban scene. We will talk about the importance of seeing a scene like a theatre stage and focusing on the most interesting parts;
- Discover how to draw a tree with simple shapes;
- Practice drawing textures and details;
- Learn how to do shadowing;
- And find out how to color the greenery using watercolor, so it looks fresh and attractive.
