5 Minute Landscape

In this workshop we explore landscape drawing on the run- how to draw and paint a landscape in five minutes or less, while standing up, in wet weather. Learn how to see basic shapes, simplify values, and discard unecessary detail. I will demonstrate several techniques including water soluable pen, aquash pencil, limited palette watercolor, Tombo pen, and graphite pencil.

On a side note if you go overboard and do not preserve your whites, there is a nice product that sharpie makes that is a white, water based paint marker... and another nice effect is using black dry erase markers they bleed very nicely to create shadowy area's. I recently found a review of your book on nature journalism and looked you up. I am became a very quick fan. Thanks for doing what you do! I look forward to catching up on some of your other videos that are inspiring.

I liked the joke about how our brain can't even handle "50 shades of grey". Good one sir!

Around 9:37 John looks like a super hero ! John the super drawing teacher or something (I'm sure there are better names you can come up to). Thanks for all the resources you give us anyway ;) I think I've made some progress in few hours of time watching your videos.

[@letterfromthepast]

I love your workshops. It is so informative and practical. I have a question. Is a sketch done with water soluble pen with wash permanent? I mean, doesn't it fade later? I just wonder how durable the sketch is. Thank you so much!

I'm only fifteen minutes into this video...inspiring as usual. So inspiring in fact that I'm starting a challenge in order to create accountability for myself. Check out @5mindailydrawingchallenge on Instagram and join me using hashtag #5mindailydrawingchallenge I'm *not selling anything* I just want to share this journeying creating the habit of "just draw it" with others and hopefully we can all encourage and inspire others catch the drawing habit too!
