TobySketcloose, Liz Chaderton,. Never heard of the folks being presented. More to add is nice. Too many people have forgotten what the word ‘sketch’ means.

keeping things simple can be very challenging while trying to stay creative at the same time. I appreciate the style these artist bring to the table

Thank you for opening my eyes to artists in this minimalist style and for your 5 tips. Your video was really well done, keeping it simple and moving. Really love your work too Taria!

I love all of these artists! Thank you, Taria, for doing the research for us!

Absolutely loved this video of 5 minimalist artists to watch! So inspiring! I’m so new to this and I’m overwhelmed with the beautiful art you and these artists make. Love your videos! More!!

I was blown away by each of these sketchers works! Thanks so much for introducing me to these sketchers.

Thank you for your 5 great tips to improve minimalist sketching and exposing me to other urban minimalist artists, just great

Another comprehensive video. Thanks Taria for introducing us to unknown sketchers.

I really like your urban sketchers to follow series. Always inspiring and interesting. I love working with negative spaces but simplification is challenging.

Thank you, I have now followed them all. Great inspiration for an aspiring artist like myself, who is enthralled with the magic of line and wash and, yes, the use of white space!

Thank you so much for putting this together, so much great info!

Thanks for putting this together, there are so many different ways to sketch outside that I hadn’t considered 😊

Great video - concise and thought provoking with good examples of the artists' work. Helpful 5 tips at the end too Thanks very much

Thank you for this helpful video. I keep coming back to it again and again.

Great video - thought provoking with good examples of artists' work. Helpful 5 tips for minimalist approach at the end. Thanks Taria

This was excellent. Thank you for posting these wonderful artists, all of whom were new to me. My goal is to simplify my sketches.

Love Lis Watkins….and her work simply echoes the way she is…..understated and captivating

appreciate the information. It exposes the working of art and explains the simplified style in many artist's sketches. ❤ ❤

I love applying collage to my art work!. I’m just now trying to break into urban sketching having always loved it, seeing it in hooks and what not, but not having seen much of it in the states. I’d love to get out and try more of it. I try to draw too much detail so this video is inspiring. Thank you! I’m encouraged to try and bring more of my collage into my urban sketching now. 😄 ❤️

I love Jim Butlers use of collage and line. I have been doing the #100dayproject (3 in a row) and focused on collage, some was more abstract, some pictorial. I never thought of using collage with urban sketching. I’m going to give it a go!!! Thanks Taria for all your wonderful work on your channel. It’s inspiring. ☺️

Thank you! I will watch this on repeat.

Great round up Taria. I love the look of minimalist style but my natural style is so different it would be a long journey to get there. But no matter what your personal style is, we can all learn from the elements that are essential for more impactful sketches.

thank you for silencing your amazing talent to show other amazing talent. Everytime enjoying your videos ! Thank you

Love this so glad I found you!

Outstanding Taria. Well packaged and for me I realise I am minimally challenged. Am going to experiment now after seeing this.

Great video. Completely fascinated with the idea of blending collage and urban sketching. Let's see some of that in action in the future. Thanks!

Interesting look at other Urban Sketch artists. I also enjoy Toby Hasler

great instruction as per.....always a pleasure

I wanted to start to draw London scenes. I am so pleased to find there is a group. I love the concept. The video was very well put together. Thanks for a really informative and useful road map.

Amazingly inspiring!

Watched three times, made notes, great content, thanks!

Fantastic. Thank you.

Thank you so much !

George Butler's Venice piece was instantly recognizable to me even though it's so minimalist. Very cool!

Thumbs-Up: Joao Catarino !

à lot of interresting recommandations thank you very much for that

I have to throw in the name Christoph Niemann. Thanks for your selection of minimalist urban sketchers. Such an inspiration. ❤ I‘ll definitively give it a try.

very well done.

Big like. Amazing art video😊😊😊😊

Thanks!

Wow! Thank you you all of this information. And btw, I have been watching you for this past year and it seems as though you have improved sooooo much. I wish I was at your level. I'm still trying to get there, with urban sketching. Thank you again Taria.

9:58 such an amazing sketch

Great video! I subscribed.

Jenny Adam is my favourite

Just stumbled on your channel... so excited to have discovered your YT voice, and the minimalist sketching artists you have profiled here. I really appreciate the practised eye you have in breaking down how this style works. I've been getting into ink and water colour, and had been searching (without knowing it) for a style of expression that inspires me and I think this might be it...

Ah that’s brilliant to hear! There’s something so appealing about this style. It looks simple but it’s deceptively hard being so minimal, knowing where and when to draw and when not. It’s an exciting area of sketching I think and I’m glad you’re inspired by it!

@@tarias_sketchy_adventures Yes I think the simplification decisions are deceptively hard, as they are quite sophisticated judgments that largely come from experience... and it requires trust in your own intuitions. I love the simplicity of this style, and I think the expressiveness that results is so individual and distinctive. It reminds me - being half Chinese - of oriental brush painting, which is also a deceptively simple art form, where every stroke is capturing the energy of the painter, like their brush calligraphy. I've also become fascinated about the expressive human figures some artists produce, which prompted me to read over the weekend a book called "Drawn to life" by Disney artist trainer Walt Stanchfield - he is a huge proponent of the idea that you can capture the essence of a person in really simple expressive sketches... again it looks easy but isn't, and yet this book is the best I've found at explaining how it's done... he helps you develop that connection between your observation of a person and situation, and how you feel into it through your own body's knowledge of what they are feeling (ie mirror neurons and motor-skills/muscle memory - he doesn't go into the science, though...)... if you haven't read this book I'd recommend it. What I love about all this is that it relies on what Walt describes as capturing that first impression that a person or place makes on you... and sticking with it... the drawing skill is about that expression, more than knowledge of anatomy... well, thanks again for inspiring me to explore this art style!

@@tarias_sketchy_adventures Just a quick quote from the book that gives a sense of the approach: "Likewise the artist, when he first gets an inspiration or tackles a pose in an action analysis class sees the pose, is struck by its clarity and its expressiveness, then after working on it for a while that first impression is gone and with it goes any chance of capturing it on paper. That's the reason we should learn to get that first impression down right away - while it's fresh, while it's still in that first impression stage - before it starts to fade. "Any of you who have studies Zen will be familiar with the practice of seeing everything anew constantly. You don't dig up the past and use it to make judgments on the present - everything is new, there is only now, this moment, so each moment has that first impression newness... Every stroke you make with the pencil is like a knife-edge that carves out the pose as if it were the first time you ever saw it. "The reason I keep harping on "forget the detail" for this particular type of study (ie he's referring to sketches) is that the detail doesn't buy you anyhting at this stage of the drawing. Doodling with detail will cause you to lose that first impression. The time to study bone structure and muscles is in anatomy class or at home witha good book on anatomy. In an action analysis class a rough circle is all you need to locate and suggest a knee or an elbow or a wrist. Two lines is all you need to locate and suggest the various parts of the arms and legs... "When I say locate and suggest, that is exactly what and all you need. What you are drawing is a pose not parts. The simplest kind of suggestion is the surest way toa good drawing."

I'd add Cristoph Niemann .It's great

George butlers work is particularly amazing

Hi, Great video, and one that I will return to many times being a 70's novice sketcher. Could I suggest that you add a table of contents to make it easy to search 00:00 Start 02:15 Tiago Cruz 04:15 Lis Watkins 05:45 Emily Thomas 08:00 Jim Butler 09:25 Joao Catarino 11:50 How to achieve a minimalist style Thanks

Diego Cruz, Jim Butler and João

Thanks for your recommendations! I'd add an urban sketcher in vancouver, canada. As a beginner, I find her simple sketches, done from a coffee shop, very easy to follow. Becky Cao.

@@tarias_sketchy_adventures not minimalist, but not elaborate, no frills, and a straightforward way of showing how she sees the thing she's drawing, and how she draws & paints it.

It's very inspiring, however, I suppose it's the next level of "simplicity", that is based on such high level of skills, that it looks simple, but it's more complex that the usual painting

It's so peculiar for me : after a lifetime of filling in one page and then another : I can't fathom drawing across the binding ! I have to make that leap.

Just starting urban sketching..i can draw and can do portraits but i cant understand perspective..any classes that you recommend?

So i want it

Just a pronunciation note of Tiago (Cruz) .....I'm thinking it is Ti-AH-go (similar to Diablo) vs Ti-AY-go (similar to Diego).

Where can I purchase Tiago Cruz artist book

Check out Doug Jackson if you like John Harrison

do you know the"Sneaky Artist"? His little people are genius.

The intro is really long

thnx

I love love love Alex van Nes's (@sketernal) work. He's maybe not as loose as your favorites, but very minimalist.

Ooh I shall check out, thanks !!

One of my favorite artists who uses black line and a single color on a white page is Kiyeon Kim (@kimkanone) - maybe not quite minimalist, but not super detailed either - a good middle ground I think! Another good video and more artists to follow, thank you!

I also like Ben Pearce @albionworks for the minimalism. Do you know his work?
