Working on a collaged background adds a new dimension to your urban sketches or journal. You might think that preparing and drying collage while you are out and about is too messy or long-winded, but it is simple to prepare multiple pages in advance and then to choose one which suits your subject at a later date. In this two part series, I will show you how to prepare the collage and then different ways on working on it. In part 1 I use a fineliner (MIcron) pen and watercolour and in part 2 I use a dip pen and walnut ink. The two images are from a visit to York, which is just teeming with beautiful buildings to draw. I will put them on the community tab of this channel, in case you want to have a go. If you do, I'd love to see, so please tag me if you share on social media

You can find lots of urban sketching films on the Urban Sketching playlist and lots of journal films on the Journaling playlist.

Every week I share a tip, trick or technique I wish I had known when I started painting, so if you enjoyed this please like, comment and subscribe. Or if you have a watercolour problem, let me know and maybe I can help?
