Urban Sketching on Location (Try sketching outside if you want to Improve your painting skills)

Hello! Welcome to this Urban sketching on location video :)

I realized that even though it is much challenging to paint outside, to paint outdoor from direct observation, it is is more fun! Because you get the chance to better understand your subject, its shape, the way the shadows embrace the surface of the building, the different nuances of colors, the reflected light in the shadows, all this are much easier to observe outside.

I does come with challenges, the first challenge for me was to sketch and paint in front of other people, it was like a fear of being judged, or maybe just asked strange questions...another challenge is the weather, the wind makes your paint dry much faster, the light constantly changes and the shadows move around a lot, the way the building ‘shines’ also changes….but I guess all this can make you evolve faster as an artist, because you have to take faster decisions and stick to them in order to finish your sketch. So I would say to try sketching outside if you want to improve your painting skills!
