How To Sketch Cafe Interior With People 🎨 Ink and Watercolor Demo | Urban Sketching Techniques

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing with you my afternoon at Yaletown, Vancouver. I sat inside Starbucks and sketched the interior in front of me while having a cup of latte. It took me 60 minutes to finish the line works and watercolors on location. Please watch the video until the end to learn lots of ink and watercolor inspirations and techniques to sketch and paint a complicated interior, and how to sketch people. 😊🎨
🎨 Materials I used:
- Uni-Pin 0.8mm Drawing Pen
- Uni-pin Brush Pen
- Etchr watercolors (24 half pans)
- Etchr Sketchbook
- Holbein Water Brush (large tip)
- Sakura Water Brush (medium tip)

    Yes, Becky you are right to continue wearing a mask. Not just for your own safety, but out of respect to others. I love your videos. You have inspired me to start drawing again after a break of about 12 years. Keep up the love, inspiring and good work.

    Hi Becky, I recently discovered your videos and I am truly impressed with your work. For years, I’ve been tempted to go out and do urban sketching but I always felt a bit shy to go out and draw live. Looking at your work inspires me quite a lot. So, keep the good work and don’t stop sharing these very inspiring clips with useful comments and tips.

    I love the way you sketch. I’m so poor at drawing people and end up leaving them out of scenes which then loses something. But one big problem I end up having is scale when fitting something onto the page. Do you have any tips for this? Wow one hour!?! That impressive.

    Dear Becky, I like to think of this current time with mask wearing as " a little safer" .... where 'safe' doesn't exist in any form..... The "safe" word is overused and isn't real. I strive to be a wee bit happier, safer, healthier, productive and also with some stillness and calmness too... I love the warmth of this urban coffee shop sketch. I love cafe lattes too, with oat milk and honey, very creamy! Does anybody ever comment if they find out you are drawing them? I noticed your last video you covered your hand over your work, with the big bird sculpture when they came closer for a drink. I suppose it is similar to street photography, trying to be a bit subtle. I paint outside at Bondi Beach, or at the Botanical Gardens, but I don't include people, as they are just landscape gardens, or skyscapes, sea scapes...or how the sky cuts the negative space of the city buildings... Thank you for your work and filming. People have grown complacent with the mask wearing. I am agreeing with you, I see the same issue here.
