TUTORIAL FOR THIS WEEK:  Urban Sketching - Trees & Plants

Hi all! We are focusing on how to add trees and plants to our urban sketches this week. I don't usually sketch landscapes but trees are often found in our urban scenes. Let me know in the poll below what scene interests you the most. My idea is to sketch these in small boxes but only using a simple outline for the buildings so we have time to focus on the different types of trees. We'll even have an Australian Eucalyptus tree for the warm up!

Thanks also to everyone who sent me encouraging messages and comments last week when I was running behind my usual schedule for the portraits tutorial! 🤗 I had a surprise bit of time on Saturday afternoon to finish it off and spent Sunday relaxing with family so I'm ready for a new week 👍🏼.

WHAT'S COMING UP:

Week Starting 25th March: People Sketching - Crowd of figures in a city  (Sketched very small size)

Week Starting 1st April: Urban Sketching - Individual Building

Week Starting 8th April: Portraits - 3 Medium size faces

Although I asked for palm trees, I like number one best. There are many more choices of types of plants and trees and the buildings are particularly interesting.

Leanne Rees

Love these Pictures. Would love to see some Australian gum trees. Great pictures. I would love to see how all of them are done.

Joni K

I picked #1. I like the variety of trees and the tree covered mountain in the background. I have trouble mixing natural looking greens.

Renata B

Definitely #2. Palm trees are the hardest for me. I always overwork them both in terms of shape and colors, and they end up looking like a blob of mud. Thank you.

Marie Cornelis

Rita Yuko Urasaki

I love trees and flowers. I’m looking forward to seeing whatever people vote for. Exciting 😆

Petra

I like number 3 but I believe we can learn more with number one.

Lorna Graham

#3 appeals to me but happy with any of them 😊
