Artists are always their own worst critics. Be assured, your work is SO beautiful. I love your use of white space as well. And, yes, seeing the video snippets are interesting and work great as a reference for the viewer. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks!

[@DannyHawk]

London59 Thank you! I think you’re probably onto something. 😅 I guess us artists are always striving for perfection. 😂

[@suhauluckesik]

You are the best watercolor artist I've ever seen. You should do some tutorial videos. Keep up the great work man, looking forward to see your new posts on Instagram.

[@DannyHawk]

Katyusha Thank you so much! You’re much too kind. ☺️

[@aneelabalsavr1561]

Seriously...you ought to illustrate books for children. ...these are simply beautiful

[@grantharper6033]

Totally Amazing! I’d pay more for a beautiful book of these ‘sketches’ than I would for one water colour of one scene in full. It’s intriguing, mesmerising and full of character and atmosphere. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@jessicasobel4287]

Your style is so intriguing! I love your use of white space and the blue backgrounds. It makes the page just so interesting. I also love seeing the videos of the places you sketched to compare!

[@DannyHawk]

Jessica Sobel Thanks, Jessica! I’m glad to hear you like my style and enjoyed watching the video.

[@emsto690]

Those are absolutely stunning! Would love to see a video of you explaining your process: how you get started etc… and what are your go to supplies (if you have time for it of course!)

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

[@jupiterm2598]

I feel joy and calm when I watch,. Your talent is wonderful ' from Middle East

[@kjellkanin]

I love your use of white space! That's something I want to implement too cause it would solve a few issues now and then.

[@skinnydrawnboy]

Really lovely sketchbook tour, I especially liked the Malta sketches. My wife is half-Maltese and we're fortunate to have family there so we return every few years. I've only recently started to play with urban sketching so I look forward to my next visit :) Really love your use of foreground elements to carve out some negative space as a framing device, it's really effective

[@jendesign5537]

Beautiful sketches!

[@lizkilic1528]

Absolutely stunning pictures. Im so in awe of artists.. Im just Learning . I'm inspired to take a notebook on my next holiday .thank you for sharing😍

[@DannyHawk]

Kara Kask Oh, how cool! I had an absolutely lovely time in Malta. ☺️

[@birdofprayer2870]

Such a satisfying video! I love how you turn the scenes into contained little blobs of color that fit so well on the page. I may have to try that one out myself. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art.

[@DannyHawk]

Thank you! :-)

[@shandi1249]

Wow these are amazing! I was in southern Spain earlier this year and you really captured the feeling of the area in your paintings! I know this is an old video but thanks for sharing, very inspiring for my own art :)

[@Tat2TankT]

Wow ur amazing bro thanks for sharing

[@ced612]

Great art! I agree with chicken strips (chicken strips lol). There's so much life in the colors used in each sketch. I'm trying to figure out what sets his work apart from the other artists I've been viewing. Keep on sharing with us.

[@DannyHawk]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoy my artwork so much. :-)

[@liamereiam]

Wow.

[@azalea1404]

Great artwork from your journeys. It's also interesting to see video bits of the references. Would you share with us the art suppliers that you use when sketching and painting outside?

[@LaurenHobbs]

What sketchbook is this? I would love to try some urban watercolour sketching

[@abdalaah74]

جميل جدا 😍👍👌

[@earthingearthling2976]

Love ur "texture"

[@nirmaniranchagoda1]

Woow! I was looking for sketchbook videos before I start mine. It looks like I found the perfect one. Do you draw there itself or do you take photos and draw later? Can you please list down your resources (brands of books, paint etc). Please do some timelapse videos for individual paintings. I love to watch them too!

[@antoniosalinas5369]

Hey Danny, I love your art work! I love your style and sense of color, it's beautiful. I am very interested in urban sketching and I wanted to know how you got started? As someone who's only been drawing for a year and a half now, what are some fundamentals you find important in urban sketching?

[@DannyHawk]

Antonio Salinas Hey Antonio, thanks for your comment! I’d recommend checking out the urban sketchers website to see if there’s a chapter located near you. As for advice, I think the best thing is to just go at your own pace and not worry too much about comparing yourself to other people. Hope that helps and have fun sketching!

[@soyinkaogunbusola2215]

nice work.....thank for sharing.

[@DannyHawk]

soyinka ogunbusola Thanks! Glad you like it. ☺️

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

My struggle when I try to do photography is that it just never portrays the depth and feel of what I am taking and I am always a little disappointed in the results. I am trying to figure out an answer to that question too. :)

[@areaplus447]

Very nice! Can you please upload a tutorial video for sketching a building?

[@3ngan498]

Heey! Cool stuff

[@DannyHawk]

3 ngàn Thanks!

[@hobihobi9697]

im late, i just saw this and your works are so beautiful 😭😭 what brand of sketchbook is that? 🥺

[@cessgonzales7711]

Can I know what brand of watercolor you use? Gorgeous line work and use of watercolor medium!

[@jeannettemartin2314]

So schön.😊 Man kommt sich fast vor als wäre man mit dir dort.... Die Kombination Film und Sketch finde ich super, auch als Vergleich.😀 Deine Szenen sind wirklich grandios.Mich würde interessieren wie lange du so brauchst für ein Bild? Auch würde ich dir gerne mal beim malen über die Schulter schauen.👌🏻🤗☺️

[@DannyHawk]

Jeannette Martin Recht herzlichen Dank! Es freut mich, dass dir meine sketches gefallen. Normalerweise brauche ich zwischen 1,5-2 Stunden je nach Größe und Motiv.

[@MB-ci2qf]

Beautiful ⭐

[@DannyHawk]

Mopsi Boli Thank you! ☺️

[@mostlysanetrader]

Great sketches mate, I'd recommend you to visit India, they have marvellous ancient hindu temples....and plent of stuff to draw , you might as well take 2 diaries ...👍🏻

[@beckyszemelyesen]

Hi! Great artwork, you gave me a lot of inspiration for outdoor sketching. What equipments/supplies do you take with you? (Beside the normal watercolour-pencil-liner-eraser combo) Do you use an easel?

[@DannyHawk]

Rebcebab I usually bring a bag with a watercolor sketchbook, pencil, eraser, fountain pen and watercolor paints. I also usually have a foldable chair on me. Hope that helps!

[@AdityaSharmaart]

Awesome work

[@DannyHawk]

Thanks!

[@AdityaSharmaart]

@@DannyHawk please also check my vedios

[@fafabkt9015]

Your sketches are really remarkable and inspiring ✨️ I will be grateful if you could share the name of your watercolor sketch book .

[@canelacinn4610]

I'm from Andalusia, in Málaga!

[@DannyHawk]

Canela/Cinn Oh, how cool! Greetings to España!

[@lospapelesdemama]

Amazing work! I am Maltese but have been living in Spain for the last 17 years!! Found your sketches of so many familiar places for me so beautiful!! What sketchbook do you recommend?? Which one do you use in this video? I want to buy one for urban sketching to use with watercolour and gouache. Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks for sharing your lovely lovely work! 😍😍🤗

[@DannyHawk]

Thanks! Malta and Spain are both lovely places to sketch :) This one is a watercolor sketchbook by Hahnemühle.

[@user-nk2bl9wb5o]

wow

[@sadax1354]

I just found your channel fews weeks ago and i'm in love with your sketches... 😍😍😍 What watercolor are you using, your sketches look almost digital 😁😁

[@DannyHawk]

sadax13 Thanks! I’m glad you like them. I’m currently using watercolors by Schmincke.

[@lunalee1189]

Those looks amazing. What kind of sketchbook did you use? Do you know where I can get one like it?

[@DannyHawk]

Thanks! This one is a watercolor sketchbook by Hahnemühle.

[@kathrynwilliams6751]

Beautiful work! Could you share what size/kind of sketchbook you use.

[@DannyHawk]

Thanks! This one is a watercolor sketchbook by Hahnemühle.

[@user-cq6bw8ib4w]

This is magic. I don't know how you do it?

[@DannyHawk]

Елена Сушко Thanks! I guess a lot of patience and practice. 😅

[@ayanadiaahmad8068]

[@rhoviccesar7072]

What sketchbook do you use? And what size?

[@DannyHawk]

Deus KZbin This one is a watercolor sketchbook by Hahnemühle in A5.

[@CreativeRob]

Your sketch books turn out so nice. Are they just for you, are do you make them with the thought of selling ?

[@DannyHawk]

Creative Rob Currently they’re just for me; I couldn’t bear with the thought of departing from them. But I do sell prints of my sketches. :)

[@CreativeRob]

Danny Hawk , I think I would feel the same way! Lol. I also do some watercolor and pen work. If you get a chance I would be honored if you would check them out. I do time lapse videos of my paintings.🙂

[@archishmakrishnamurthy4380]

In this book shall we use acrylic painting and water colour paintings?

[@DannyHawk]

It's all watercolor :)

[@emineyldrm197]

One of the most beautiful sketchbook ever seen. Visit Türkiye

[@hanichay1163]

This is a sketchbook? These should all be in frames!

[@anberberb847]

what watercolor u use for this beautiful paint?

[@DannyHawk]

These were done with watercolors by Schmincke.

[@shankarrv419]

Umm.... please answer, it would be helpful for my art>>What watercolors and sketchbook do you use? You have GOT to do a live tutorial!!Pleeease!

[@DannyHawk]

The watercolors are by Schmincke and the sketchbook is a watercolor book by Hahnemühle.

[@kacperwalczak2460]

[@DannyHawk]

Kacper Walczak It’s a sketchbook by Hahnemühle.

[@jamesart47]

clever

[@rennieneasey-oconnell6064]

Adore your work... any chance when you are doing studio work, you could set up a camera to video it, and show us?

[@DannyHawk]

Rennie Neasey-O'Connell Thanks! I usually sketch out on location, so it’s a bit difficult to film while drawing. :)

[@rennieneasey-oconnell6064]

Cool... never mind! I live in hope!

[@LovkynaPeral]

☝️👌👍

[@melinarother2050]

I've been procrastinating on watching this video now for a week cause it makes me feel so bad about my own painting skills...

[@DannyHawk]

Melina Rother Oh, don’t feel bad! I think anything is possible with a bit of practice.

[@zehrakaya4116]

,,Sketches”

[@bryanmartinez8136]

"You are not allowed to Sketch" must be one of the must stupid sentences ever said. You are literally not hurting everyone. It's not like you are going to build a replica of the Castle or anything. Following the same logic, photos nor videos are allowed, but there are plenty of pictures on the internet so what's the point?

[@Dunika]

Bryan Martinez it’s not that you are not allowed to sketch, it’s that you are not allowed to sit on anything in the actual castle (not even the floor or benches) or stay in the same place for a long period of time. The Alhambra gets over 2.7 visitors a year, that’s over 7000 visitors per day in the 11 and half hours that is open. The security personnel are always making sure that no crowds form, and the people are constantly moving over, otherwise it would be utter chaos. Even on the gardens there is not a lot of places you can sit, and most of them are in the sun so it’s very very hot (Granada it’s constantly over 40 degrees Celsius in summer) so I completely understand their reasoning. That said, you can book special group visits for art, architecture, etc. students where they are allowed to sketch.

[@katsmith8263]

very uptight painting. No freedom

[@kikeheebchinkjigaboo6631]

Where does this queen Danny have the time and money to travel. Who’s her sugar daddy.

[@queenieh3987]

Amazing!
