How to begin urban sketching - step by step for beginners filmed on location

[@lenandtannismoody9890]

I love everything you post. You make it so approachable and it is a challenge for us to let perfection go, and just draw

[@LizChadertonArt]

Thank you so much!

[@peckerdecker]

Great artwork. Fab. It's original. Drawn from real life. Excellent. Keep sharing.

[@LizChadertonArt]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Momabearsews]

Love your watercolor demos- thank you

[@LizChadertonArt]

You are so welcome!

[@Trueivorydesigns]

Loved this! You make it seem so easy. I really enjoyed watching your process. Very help full. THANK YOU!!!

[@LizChadertonArt]

You are so welcome!

Another great video. You do crack me up! Can't wait to go and be a prat with fellow urban sketchers later this month. Thanks for sharing. I love the end result.

[@LizChadertonArt]

Have fun!

Another great sketch, and the view really appeals to me 😊

[@LizChadertonArt]

I hope you have a go

[@kimberlyrombaut]

Fabulous painting and love your words of encouragement to go out and try yourself 🥰 Will try this one soon!

[@LizChadertonArt]

look forward to seeing what you do

[@hanichay1163]

Enjoyed this and all the tips and teaching!

[@LizChadertonArt]

So glad! Hope you have a go

[@ullabonderup]

What a wonderful video. I love your style and mostly I like listening to your thoughts and reflections while sketching.

[@LizChadertonArt]

Thank you so much!

[@LovinLnCottage]

I always enjoy your videos. This one is particularly useful in so many ways. Knowing that a professional artist struggles with all the same challenges that we hobbyists do, makes it less daunting to go out and try it ourselves. Thank you so much for sharing yourself and your art. PS. I’m glad that there is someone there with you. ☮️💙🙏 from Florida 🇺🇸

[@LizChadertonArt]

I really want these to be ‘warts and all’. I did fall off my stool at one point, but luckily that wasn’t caught on film 😂

[@susancook1617]

Lovely video Liz, I love listening to your friendly banter while you are painting, thank you for sharing 😊

[@LizChadertonArt]

thank you so much

[@sharonling-LetsArtToday]

Really enjoyed this. Thank you. Glad you didn’t go bottom up again! 😂

[@LizChadertonArt]

Me too!

[@jude6752]

Fantastic work Liz - thank you. Mine is stiff and straight. Must try harder.

[@LizChadertonArt]

it depends if you want it straight and accurate or looser. There is not a right or wrong way, just your way 😊

[@ladyhollman9534]

Another outstanding out and about sketch! You made that building stand out. Also, hope you picked up the water brush that fell. I was actually trying to let you know it was by your foot when you were using the chisel … then, well, I realized that you couldn’t hear me.😂😂😂 Lovely. After watching you & Ian, adding a few of “the greys” to a kit is a real plus to consider. Thanks again 👍

[@LizChadertonArt]

I heard you!!

It’s gorgeous! Makes me want to give it a try ❤

You should!

Bravo🎉!

[@LizChadertonArt]

Thank you

[@charlottemalone7375]

Another banger! Love your sketches so much. I’ve done it a couple more times, still not confident enough to start with pen or to sketch in real life (always use a photo) but I am enjoying it and I’ll get there soon enough. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@LizChadertonArt]

you will do it when you are ready. Try and find a sketch buddy

[@margaretpinsent6388]

A great video, thank you, and a lovely loose sketch. I learned a lot here. The grey brush pens make quite a difference. I've only ever had kindness from people, including children (that was scary! I heaved a sigh of relief after they'd gone), coming up to me to look and chat. I've sketched on Bamburgh beach, in Alnwick and Berwick town centres, and an outside cafe in Morpeth. And in Italy and Portugal! And I am definitely not an artist. I'm a dabbler 😊. I do it because I like sketching buildings, and I do it for me. I must try a concertina...

[@LizChadertonArt]

you ARE an artist!

[@evelynpeavy]

Pretty!

[@LizChadertonArt]

such a lovely spot

[@blueviolets2022]

Falling off the campstool, 😂 that sounds like ME!! Lol those things are just too small for me! Not even going to try. But it would be so much better to carry than a full sized camp chair. I hope youre ok? Love your work, thank you so much for sharing with us, I've learned a lot from you, and thoroughly enjoyed every video I've seen. ❤

[@LizChadertonArt]

a full size chair is much more comfortable, but I like to travel as light as possible 😊😂

[@thesketchyscotsman]

Lovely to watch the process from set-up to finish! Great painting!

[@LizChadertonArt]

thank you. I’m trying to make it feel like you are there with me

[@thesketchyscotsman]

@@LizChadertonArt I did feel like that. 😁

[@LizChadertonArt]

@@thesketchyscotsman hurrah!

[@joellewatercolour]

Love it! So nice to see you sketching a place that I've been as well 😀, this is close to Micklem's Farm isn't it? I've been meaning to sketch along with your other two films, but this is my cue, I will actually do this one!

[@LizChadertonArt]

Yes it is and please do!

[@isabeedemski3635]

Go go go! Cheerful project!

[@ellenp7455]

Brilliant sketch and I love your commentary especially! I managed to get some sketching as well, I was sketching an ancient oak tree that was quite a grown tree already in 1690! One branch is all cracked and twisted and is supported by a steel beam, but it's still holding on! What I took away from my sketching trip is that old oak trees do have a LOT of leaves! I wasn't drawing each and one of them, but was a bit overwhelmed by seeing all this mass, and wondering, how on Earth would I fit it on such a small page! My weapon of choice was a pencil, supposedly it would go quicker with something water soluble, but I decided to pare down to the minimum this time. Oh, and I managed to sneak in another sketch, stifling protests of my other half +kid with an ice-cream. Felt a bit like sitting on a gunpowder barrel with fuse already lit, but I did have some time while they were eating! 😂 Following your suggestion did check urban sketchers near me and closest place is 100 km away. The other is on the other side of the country 😔. Oh, well... 😂 I'll count my blessings!

[@LizChadertonArt]

you could start an urban sketchers group! And I regularly buy time with beer and ice cream for the family

[@ellenp7455]

@@LizChadertonArt I knew you would say that ! 😅 Next time I will try to buy some time with beer . Does it last longer than ice-cream, I wonder 🤔
