Build a Sketchbook Spread (ep.4) // Loose Ink & Watercolour Sketching for Beginners

The moment we have all been waiting for! In this episode I added the Sagrada Familia to my sketchbook spread, slap bang in the middle. As Gaudi's most famous (and still unfinished) project, I thought it was only right it took centre stage. In this video, I show you how you can sketch a complicated building like this quickly and loosely in ink & watercolour, while still retaining its recognisability.

Am a huge fan of Barcelona & Gaudi, ever since my brother moved there in the early 2000’s. This is truly magical and inspiring Taria ~ thank you 💜

[@pattyhabegger3073]

This is a great idea for travel sketches. You can sketch and paint parts of a scene and fill it in as you go along. Very practical!

[@MrHiArt]

You have created an amazingly beautiful creative work! I admire your talent as an artist! A very beautiful piece of art! Magical beauty! With admiration, Mr. Hi! :)

Great series... thanks so much!

[@ChantelleArts]

I am loving this series ☺☺☺☺

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Yay! Im so glad :)

[@user-dz7sq2um8d]

Nice work! I love this sketchbook spread idea and your laid-back approach to loose painting, as I tend to get too tight and detailed with my work, so you're an inspiration! Would be interested to know your thoughts about this kind of palette after having used it. Doesn't the paint dry in the wells anyway? Is it about having more mixing space?

[@ladyhollman9534]

Pen looks like my Hongdian (from Amazon) … excellent painting btw. 👍 A true testament to something “Gaudi”.

[@tarias_sketchy_adventures]

Ah yes it is a Hongdian! Well spotted :) Thank you for watching!
