SKETCHING Venice with Brush Pens by IAN FENNELLY

[@essietangle9931]

What a wonderful reference video, thank you so much for showing us the steps!

[@literaturix]

Oh my. Look at this hand! This is the point, where the magic of looking, talent and spirit cumulate to exactly this kind of artwork I wanted to draw as an 20years old in my dreams... now, with 64, I sit here and smile. How can stone, architecture, buildings, holes and water be so friendly, crooked and full of love? Ian shows it. Overwhelming...

[@solgunn1994]

Love how you express yourself in your art and how your inner person obviously shows on the paper. Very cartoon like, very animated and eccentric.

[@douglasnoren3348]

I know this is 3 years old but I’ve just recently “discovered” Ian’s art and i think I’ve watched this and his other demos dozens of times! Cheers!

[@artistravel]

Nice!!

[@hennybrunner8939]

Beautiful. I am happy that I found this old video. Still relate to me. I just have started with urban sketching. Thank you guys for share this Ian Fennely class.

[@artistravel]

You're most welcome, Henny!

[@ianwalker3922]

Thank you Ian for sharing your demonstrations of how you build your sketches your amazing Ian and you inspire me and many others please keep on sharing them me for 1 carnt get enough.. Ian Walker.

[@artistravel]

Thanks! ;)

[@LizChadertonArt]

Love the looseness of your line, the quirkiness of the perspective and the layers of texture.

[@thetruthgodcountry5052]

Your approach to sketching as well as your overall perception of the scene at hand is absolutely remarkable. You have found a way to omit detail and leave it to the viewer's imagination through the creative use of provocative color and shading. The urban Sketchers that you create a by 5 my favorites please don't stop doing what you do

[@artistravel]

Thanks for your fantastic feedback!!

[@roberta207]

[@DarbyandGill]

It is interesting to see your technique but also how high you grip the pen. Thank you for sharing xx

[@patriciamarshall7762]

I know it’s been 2 years, but I am constantly impressed by your detailed explanation of the process. Sooooo. Useful and impressive. Thanks Ian 😍❤️😍

[@artistravel]

Glad you enjoyed it! ;)

[@carlyblankevoort3856]

Out of this world talent, I adore your work. Anton Pieck like sketching

[@marysiagirl]

Thank you for sharing your amazing technics!

[@neobycejnaharmonika]

Oh, wow! Your style reminds me one famous Czech artist Zdeněk Smetana. He draw evening short cartoons for kids. They are popular almost 40 years here. Your style is funny, fresh and playful. Amazing! I am so glad I've found your channel.

[@artistravel]

Oh cool! Happy to have you here!

[@theBoonarmies]

Absolutely gorgeous. Thankyou for this.

[@artistravel]

Glad you like it!

[@arabellahorwitz2622]

WOW! you make it look so easy.

[@artistravel]

I know, right?! ;)

[@ARTYCOATY]

It's a very nice watercolor landscape. I learned how delicate pens move. I am happy to meet your work! I'm looking forward to sharing with you. Thank you, my friend!🎨😊👍✨

[@ЛарисаМетелёва-ю7ч]

Волшебно!!!!! Можно часами смотреть как Вы это делаете)))

[@lorisharding940]

This amazing tutorial took me straight back to my visit to the Rialto Bridge in Venice. I was captured by the randomness of Ian's pen and brush strokes yet each action was deliberate. In my mind I was standing there soaking in the moment. Thank you Ian for sharing your talent and encouraging us to "wake up" our own skills.

[@lisagiuliani8167]

I absolutely love your work, your colors, style, feel...just everything!

[@artistravel]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@80kedR]

Thanks a lot, Ian - for creating and sharing this wonderful video.

[@rosarioreina7854]

You are not only a good Artist but a great teacher as well ! Thank you so much. “Un gran maestro es un tesoro”

[@artistravel]

So nice of you! 🥰

[@ianwalker3922]

I LOVE YOUR ART Ian and I love what you do for others new to art top man !!!

[@artistravel]

🥰🙏🏼

[@susanracepanda8162]

Wow... wonderful. 👌🏻👏🏼 Thank you very much for sharing. 😃

[@Mail2elr]

Thanks. Your style is new to me and I have enjoyed and learned a lot. I tend to be very realistic and precise and it irritates me to the point where a drawing/painting becomes a chore instead of an enjoyable journey. Your style gives a lot of freedom in detailed expression. And dare I say perhaps a touch of the whymsical...? Thanks again for sharing!

[@susancook1617]

Fantastic Ian, thank you for sharing this amazing drawing.

[@artistravel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tpasto]

I love this - do you happen to have a link to the reference photo?

[@artistravel]

Unfortunately not..

[@arthurdavies-patrick7523]

My nephews wife. Likes your style, and as asked me to do a painting in your style, so may I have a go, I will look for a photo of around E.Port / Chester / but I said I will ask you first . Thank you Arthur

[@anick6265]

I am a fan!💕🙏

[@artistravel]

:)

[@albertine2169]

Loved every second. Thank you 🌷❤🌷

[@heikepaulus8326]

Wonderful!

[@Rita123xyz]

Venice is my favorite city in Italy. Somehow you made it more beautiful than it actually is.

[@artistravel]

That's sweet of you! We love to hear that! Thankk you! 🥰

[@ndhbill2650]

Tuyệt vời! Rất đáng yêu

[@Slotzzzz]

Hi..love your cartoonish style, take care..🚴

[@digitalsketchguy]

I love that your work is an approximation of what you see; you have your own unique expressive style. You use line & colour to invent rather than slavishly copy. Paul Hogarth was an artist who did similar.

[@artistravel]

Thanks :-)

[@denisei5367]

Beautiful What kind of paper? Marker paper or water colour paper?

[@inibini4353]

Great work..thank you. ♥ ♡ ♥

[@pmrrag]

Magnifico¡¡

[@cgm6434]

Fantastic..!!! (from Wirral) what type of water colour paper do you use please..??

[@mchlup]

What kind of paper does Ian use for these artworks? Does anyone know? It looks smooth but it's hard to tell.

[@eileengoldenberg270]

Great sketch Ian! I would love to go to Venice.. Eileen

[@GravityBoy72]

Fabtastic!

[@pierresurprenant1873]

Wonderful piece of art. I love your style. What is the size of your sketchbook?

[@artistravel]

Roughly roughly 40cm x 30cm

[@migueltome1148]

Great, thank you!

[@aprajitatyagi1531]

really nice

[@miranda8598]

Nice!!

[@XtianApi]

I'd love to see you use some copic markers on some true blending card paper. We'd like to see you blending colors and such with copic brushes

[@alanbannister5848]

Great stuff Ian. It's just a shame Tombow pens are not lightfast

[@kayparmee5775]

Could you please say which set of colours you used in this fabulous demonstration . . . .

[@artistravel]

Hi, we asked Ian - he said that there are just warm and cool tone brush pens used here :-)

[@xannderart3498]

genial ^^

[@Tamadehenzhan]

danke

[@JustAnEmptyCageGirl]

I understand why the buildings on the outside can't be red but man... it makes me so sad
