One Simple Shadow Trick | Urban Sketching Tutorial (6 min)

#EasySketch #RelaxingWatercolor #UrbanSketching
This video provides a simple shadow trick to capture a simple scene, making it more 3D than otherwise. Most beginners are too focused on all the DETAILS, this "trick" will help a beginner sketcher to see the BIG PICTURE, especially SHADOWS.
*****************************
Process:
1) Simple sketch in pen - I use a broad size fountain pen with permanent / bulletproof ink.
2) I worry about the BIG shapes, not the tiny details.
3) Whenever I put in details it is to INDICATE architectural details.
4) Key SHADOWS are marked in first - using neutral purple - combination of French Ultramarine, Perm Alizarin Crimson and Quin Burnt Orange.
5) The rest of the colours are just EMBELLISHMENT!
Materials:
1) Coldpress A5 sketchbook.
2) Daniel Smith watercolors - French Ultramarine, Perm Alizarin Crimson, Quin Gold, Quin Burnt Orange, Cad Yellow, Cad Orange, Green Gold, Phthalo Green (BS).
3) Brushes - tiny no.1, 100, 4 and 6 sized brushes
*****************************
Painting should be fun and relaxing and not stressful, there's no objective other than learning and having a relaxing time. Painting should be easy, based on the skill level that you are at, no stress, but rather enjoyable.
