5 Urban Sketching Tips | Gouache Painting at a Coffee Shop

[@ThePhar0ah]

I don't like when people tell me, 'you are really talented'. Thanks, but drawing and painting is a skill that takes thousands of hours of dedication

[@artofjesskarp]

I agree but I still say thank you because some people are just not aware

For me, Nothing is more intresting and lovlier then to capture the beauty of the world in my sketchbook:)

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much!!

[@withstarsvini]

That cafe is really really beautiful, I love that pink color.

[@artofjesskarp]

So cute!

[@TheEnigma2389]

This is such a refreshing location. Nice ambience. And if you're positive like Jess, you're bound to fall in love with the place, especially when she captures the moment in a beautiful painting! And a great video, as always!🙂

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you!

[@DannySabraArt]

Great tips Jess! One thing I do if I want to capture moving objects like people or cars or dogs is to snap a quick photo with my phone just in case, and if they do move I can still sketch them in using the shapes from the photo and maybe the colors from other people in the scene so that it still has a realistic feel! Loved how this sketch turned out!

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks Danny!

Being medically disabled with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and mostly confined to my bed, I with I could go out to do urban sketching. I love the pink building and the Italy vibes seem dead on. You did a fantastic job capturing the likeness and sweetness of the cafe. If there's one place to do art, it's a cafe. I'm actually a little surprised the new owner didn't ask to buy the painting to hang on the wall inside. A lot of cafes even commission artwork for people by hanging their work up and posting that it's for sale. Well, it would be hard to give up anyway and it seems it all worked out exactly the way it was meant to. You're a fabulous artist. I am dying to break out the paint but I worry about the mess doing it on my lap in bed. I'm about to pull out my sketchbook now thanks to the inspiration I got from watching you paint. Beautiful work, as usual!

[@differenttakethanmost]

You can visit nearly anywhere in the world via your smartphone, iPad or laptop. I realize it’s nit the same. But sketching a wonderful pub via webcam is infinitely better than “wish I cd urban sketch but I can’t, I’m stuck in bed”. Put on some Irish pub music, grab a room -temperature Guinness and immerse yourself in Irish (or Dutch, Hawaiian, Asian, etc.) culture for a few hours.

[@LostTimeLady]

🥰 You're such a refreshing ray of positivity, beautiful painting and beautiful energy.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank youuuu!

[@janedraw]

When the guy said he got inspired to paint by watching jess paint. he doesn't lie though and that is why i love your videos, i get inspired a lot. To my fave youtube artist you rock girl❤ and i hope you will also find the inspiration you had shared with us.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much!

[@R_H21]

Wow, lots of details. It would take me forever to paint like that!!

[@MeggynQa88]

I really appreciate that you showed having fun on your own, without any company. I'm sometimes anxious to go alone and to take my own photos. Trying to make myself more comfortable doing it. Thank you!

[@rupsamitra7094]

Please do more urban sketching. I am learning how to draw and you inspire me so much and make me feel like I can do it. It is a happy feeling. So thank you for just existing and being the amazing and smiling person that you are. The cafe was awesome, so was your painting.💖

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much for the kind comment Rupsa that is very sweet!

I also want to go urban sketching like you...thanks a lot jess❤❤

It’s a beautiful Sunday morning & I just discovered your channel, it’s awesome! I love your work, & also I really enjoyed your sketchbook tour video. 💕

[@artofjesskarp]

Happy Sunday! Thank you so much for watching and the kind words!!

[@RogueMusicFreak]

I am inexperienced in drawing but i always wanna try and learn new things, but i don't know where to start and that makes me be afraid of starting. You gave me inspiration to just go for it and see where it takes me with this video. My town has many nice places to draw, so i'll just start doing that and see how it will evolve into.

[@donmorris618]

WOW!!!!! Loved the video------- im such a novice and to actually see your process was a special treat. Totally inspired to seek the outdoors to create. Thank you for sharing.

[@tracyheath6076]

Jag har sätt denna vidos typ tusen gånger framförallt nu när det är sommar och man är lite off. Men man älskar allt mer . Men att måla blir konstigt nog svårare för mig men att se just denna vido gör mig lycklig. Och villig att börja måla igen . Därför bör du ha en vlogg KZbin kanal men också en kanal med bra såna här vidos. De behöver ju inte kosta mycket för att fika och rita och du ger mig inspiration när du gör det jag gillar dig och dina vidos du är bäst på KZbin du älskar det du gör och det märks på riktigt ❤🎉❤

[@helenebourque3900]

I also miss the feeling I got when I went to downtown for Urban Sketch Tour. I still remember the kid coming to me and saying “It looks so cool. I want to draw like that too”. I was like Awwn and I felt so happy to meet him.
