TUTORIAL FOR THIS WEEK:  Urban Sketching 'Town Houses'

This week we are sketching one of these bright and cheerful Town Houses! We also call them 'Terrace Houses' in Australia but I'm interested what do you call them?

These tutorials are usually fun because there is no tricky perspectives and we can focus on loose line work and beautiful colors. Let me know which one you prefer and why in the comments!

UPDATE:

I'll be taking a short 2 week break over Christmas to spend time with my family so I am making some Sketching Challenges in advance to post during that time. They have been really fun to do and I hope you will enjoy these practice exercises that will help improve your line work and observational sketching skills. See the topics below.

WHAT'S COMING UP:

Week Starting 25th December: Quick People Sketching Challenge (Line Drawings)

Week Starting 1st January: Urban Objects -Car Sketching Challenge

Week Starting 8th January: Portraits: Side Profiles

Love #1, it is just kind of crazy! Have a wonderful Christmas holiday with the family!

Lorna Graham

I’m going for crazy too, # 1 ☺️

Like all of them, 3 is a work of art as is, and 1 and 2 are quirky. Always good to have a shop or cafe in one. Happy Xmas Scottie and fellow student!

Gil Thomson

#1 appeals to me because of different textures, sign writing, mixture of vintage and modern

Carol Renwick

#1 most colorful. Happy Holiday!

Roz

There seems to be more going on in number 1. Thanks for doing this Scottie!

Sheila Chandler

Wishing your family and you a Happy and Peaceful Holiday Season! Thank you for all the wonderful lessons !

#1 is classically unique. Many textures, angle of awning and a figure all make sketching interesting. I’m a beginner and this intimidates me so I can’t wait to see the tutorial. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Thanks for all you’re doing.

Karen King

A very Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family.

Jo

Number 1 looks interesting

Thank you so much! You are amazing. I love being in the group. I love all the scenes, but I will say number 1.
