UPCOMING TUTORIAL:  Friday 8th August: Urban Objects - Doors

I bet you never thought we'd be sketching a page full of doors! 😆 Well I'm actually very excited about this week's tutorial as these doors are very fancy! It'll be a great exercise for beginners to do as we can practice forming basic shapes in proportion and applying vibrant colors.

Let me know in the poll below which 4 references that you'd like to sketch and why you chose them in the comments.

I would also like to sketch 4 different colors so if there are too many the same color, I might substitute one for another color to make it a more interesting sketch page.

WHAT'S COMING UP:

Friday 15th August: Sketching A Street - Alternative Focal Point

Friday 22nd August: People Sketching - Poll

Friday 29th August: Urban Sketching - Inside a room (?)

I like the colors of 1 and 2 , the flowers on 7, and the door with the fabric on 9 . All great choices though!

Lorna Graham

1,2,6,7 are my choices, mainly due to colour and the framing of the flowers. All are lovely 😍

Kerry Methot

1,2,6 and 7 were the ones I chose. It looks like those are the leaders at the moment ironically.

I chose n.2 (color and decoration), 4 (color and pattern), 7 (shadows), 9 (drapery)

Kerstin

2 5 6 and 7 Details, stair steps, dappled light (or how its spelled). Nice references you found again

David G.

Jim Morrison would be proud of you, Scottie!

Leo Wilson

Great colour, texture with shadows and vibrant effect. These could really pop.

6, 1, 8, 2. They all have interesting shapes over the doors, and the colors are great.

1,2,6,7 color, ornate, wrought iron balcony and flowers

I so hope that you’ll find a way to include one with drapes/fabric too! And this month’s plan sounds diverse and quite exciting 😀
