Hope you enjoy the next sketch in this series. As ever, use the comments below to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer as soon as possible. The next sketch (Santorini in Greece) will be added next week (probably Wednesday).

[@karenmoss8810]

Your explanations of the hows and whys are way more helpful than just watching someone paint. Thank you!

[@43Rhein10]

ha! amazing !

[@yerterb7135]

the blue in your painting is so much cooler than that killer mediterranean blue. it creates a much more sombre mood.

[@philgray7320]

I cant beleive that I have only just stumbled across this channel, I will definitely have a go at this one as I love the textures and the colour of that door.

[@UJB123]

Most excellent! Simplicity in adding a bit of color to a sketch. 👍

[@TruthSeekerChik]

Absolutely love your style!!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@OwlCat-c4b]

Well done. This can definitely work as a watercolor / line & wash. Great relaxed & improvised rendering. Ill stick around for a few more 🎨 🖌

[@bobyounger6109]

This , I really do like. Well done

[@rosewood6490]

I absolutely love this, it works for me in watercolour, I also love the way you don’t use £100 brushes and weird colours, and you are very relaxed, it has given me the inspiration to take up my brushes again 😁

[@imjelo]

Love what you did with arch. Love the colour.

[@yvonnelupistettler9021]

I dont speak English well but I understand your explications. Thanks very much! You are a great teacher!

[@lesliewalker3105]

Thank you! Enjoyed sketching and painting along, and has given me courage and great pointers to paint a photo I took years ago of a blue garden gate. Thanks again!

[@SHYsArt]

Great to hear your voice Bob. Congratulations on building your empire. I was a pioneer of the late IDrawandPaint. You are still my hero for teaching me watercolors. I have actually won awards for my paintings and I invented a travel palette. It's been a long time since all that. Cheers

[@threebeansmombo]

Love this ❤️❤️ something I’ve been wanting to learn sketching everyday things we see .

[@43Rhein10]

yeah, but watching and listening isn't how you'll learn! The only way is by sketchingsketchingsketchingsketching as often as possible - everywhere and anytime! Take a small sketchbook and pencil with you wherever you go.

[@Tan17go]

Thank you so much. You explain everything so well.

[@paintsandpencils22]

I love these tutorials. Learning from here and working on my architecture watercolour paints. Thankyou sir

[@luizacastro9992]

[@laurak3990]

Love it. You're awesome. Thank you for your clear teaching. Some are too hard and boring to listen too. This is too advanced fir me but i aspire to this ability.

[@tomyduong9835]

Beautiful and effectively informative. Thank you!

[@edadevlet7055]

Thank you very much I was just wondering sketching ink and watercolour...It is ver helpful😊🙏

[@yvonnelupistettler9021]

Thanks very much!!!its very good.

[@ronankeith8779]

Would you be able to do a pastel series similar to this afterwards? Finding this series both useful and enjoyable and has encouraged me to add watercolour to my pen sketches.

[@barbaragemin5117]

This was a bit more work with the pen but it turned out fine. I had to force myself to throw the paint on as I'm used to taking more care with watercolours. Looking forward to the next one, thank you .

[@tutatuma8605]

This is awesome! Definitely will be trying it out soon

[@rjlausartDesign]

WOW... loved sketching, I learned a lot.. thanks for sharing.. support here.

[@jeanniejackson7601]

Really nice

[@Martycycleman]

Good sketch, I would have roughed this sketch in pencil first then inked it. You also could got the mesh texture by scratching it in with a cocktail stick or some suchlike. Very nice though.

[@teresasawicka5861]

Thank you I have not done pen and whas be for I am going to have a go 🙏I like to draw. Can you do one in pastel a blessing from Australian

[@DrJones-nh4my]

I love it.

[@bobyounger6109]

I liked the more dramatic pen drawing .

[@ctrlaltdelete2404]

Great, can we also do the same thing with a normal brush?

[@PhilDaviesArtist]

Absolutely!

[@ctrlaltdelete2404]

ArtTutor.com thanks a lot, i tried and mine turned out pretty well!

[@bobyounger6109]

Try this for size 1888 street with a horse carriage parked up by the side. I’ve told you because I think it would be your type of art?

[@johnharkness6304]

Very good, very helpful 👍

[@prachidalal2875]

Thank you ❤️

[@ninibobebe]

What are you using for the water colour? And what do you use for the ink/ the whole drawing? Are you able to send me a link? Can I get it on Amazon? Loll sorry I’m looking to get into stuff like this.

[@peterchan2558]

Nice

[@mariateresat4991]

Where is this door? In Portugal? Thank you.

[@fries2070]

I can't access the reference? It comes up with an error message.

[@PhilDaviesArtist]

Can you try now please? KZbin keeps cutting the end off.

[@fries2070]

@@PhilDaviesArtist it works now. Thanks alot.

[@garryhartley]

what's the name of the tool / brush thingy you're using to apply the paint? :-)

[@TheDherendra]

It is a waterbrush , used mainly for watercolor , holds water inside so you don't have to carry water

[@garryhartley]

@@TheDherendra Many Thanks - I've since read your post properly and purchased a Pental Pen - I'd never seen one before! #Beginner

[@blue9946]

How do you get proportions so accurate so quickly?

[@PhilDaviesArtist]

Have you seen the lesson yet? I talk about this in the sketching out bit. An easy way to get a good proportion of a rectangle is to look at the diagonal angle between two of the corners. No matter how big or how small you draw the rectangle, the angle of the diagonal will stay the same.

[@blue9946]

@@PhilDaviesArtist I just watched the lesson. I still find it really difficult to get them right though, even with the enveloping method and the measuring angles/lengths. Is this just something that comes over time? Could you also do a lesson on mixing/choosing colours? I think this would be helpful. Thank you

[@Chaiyotartist]

good

[@Jfyhdg67]

Have you used pen or pencil?
