Sketching a street scene in Italy | Ink & Watercolor Tutorial | Adding depth to drawings
I was so mesmerised by this picture of a quaint street in Italy that I had to sketch it, so this is a more challenging tutorial than the last one, however, everyone is different so I won’t say if it is an easy or hard one. That you have to decide for yourself alright🌟

I’m sorry, but is this amazing, I actually recognised this street just by the thumbnail, it’s called “via delle volte” and it’s near the place I grew up in, so I’m pretty used to these streets. Gorgeous work, to be honest you captured the place very well.💕

You're style is so original. As a beginner, Im looking at lots of tutorials these days, and noticing styles. Nobody is doing what you're doing. Whatever may happen with time, dont change your formula. It's just too unique.
I love how you pay attention to the smallest details
I am so appreciative of your talent and equally so your patience in describing what you are doing. Many thank yous!
Your brushes are so unique! I would love to see a video going over your favourite brands, colors, and brushes!

This is one of the best line and wash architecture type of painting I've seen. It's absolutely beautiful, just love the colours and the reflection idea at the end really added that special something. Thank you for sharing your stunning work with us ❤️ 😊.

You have the most perfect way to inspire me with your explanations, taking the time to tell us the colours you used and why. Thank you. I look forward to seeing more videos.
What's the beautiful your artwork 🥰 Thanks for sharing and inspiration. I adore old european streets and I'll try to draw some of them with your method. Thank you again 🙏
I love theway you drow shadowparts. Tricky, lovely and enlighting! 😊
I love your tutorials! I followed one yesterday and it turned out nicely. You're such an amazing artist & good teacher!!!
Peaceful and calm also wonderful painting.❤😍
Watching how you use your pencil to get the angle is so helpful to see. And your explanations on why you do things is greatly appreciated. Thank you for all of this. You are a great artist and teacher!
So very talented. Thanks for the inspiration.
this street is called "Via Delle Volte " it is located in my city Ferrara and for me it is an honor to see it reproduced in paintings by artists from all over the world! I love it!!❤❤❤❤

Absolutely beautiful! I am an Acrylic artist myself and a lot of times I see similarities between watercolor and Acrylic and I also do Dry Point Intaglio Printmaking where as a result I use watercolors to embellish my prints after the fact. So bravo to you on your mastery of watercolor. You have inspired me to do street scenes of Paris France and places in Spain. I always knew that whatever medium you are working in being minimal on the details is always impactful and that there really is no need to add every single brick or stone.
This is just wonderful! Thank you so much for recording the process and sharing so we can all enjoy your lovely work!
This is such a beautiful piece! The linework, the colors, the choice of detail. Love it!
What you call a mistake, such as with the excess yellow color, turns out to be a blessing because the orange you added just made the painting that much richer, with the final touch being the reflections in the street which were just perfect!!!
oh wow. I really love how this one turned out. You really captured the moment in your style.
Hi Jillee, thanks to your tutorials now I'm spending all my savings on art supplies lol. They are great for beginners as myself to achieve a goal and keep trying to get results! Appreciate your videos!

Beautiful work! Thanks!
Really enjoyed your ink n watercolour sketches. Wish I do do half as well.
I am definitely going to try to do some ink and watercolor now! You are so good at this! I love it!
God your paintings are beautiful. I really love ink and wash/ink and watercolor works. They just appeal to me and I love making them. I love watching you work, you’re very experienced and have worked hard to gain your talents and it shows. I could watch you do this all day. It just motivates me to whip out my sketchbook and all the pans of beautiful expensive paint I have sitting unused.

I was looking at some old master architecture drawings and noticed they would also use a lighter watered down ink to suggest depth. I like how you weren't afraid to go too yellow, knowing you could tone it down later. Orange was a perfect transition color. I would have toned it down with water, then added orange, and done it earlier, but that's me, as I prefer orange to yellow. I also like you are not a purist, but will put in white highlights in gouache where need be. Your voice is very soothing.

Watered down ink is something I haven’t tried yet, it is intriguing though. I am glad I made it more orange too, yellow is a color I am not so afraid of because it is so light and can be easily layered over. I didn’t use gouache in the past, then I signed up for a course, and the teacher taught about using white goauche, plus I’ve seen some masters using gouache too, so I think using gouache for small touch ups is perfectly good esp for sketches. Thanks for commenting Thomas!☺️💓
So good. Thank you for your commentary. I learned quite a bit and thought it came out beautifully!

This is gorgeous 🥰! Can you tell us what makes you choose to sketch with ink first, while at other times you choose to block with watercolour first? Is it complexity of the sketch? 👏🤩
Very Beautiful Painting 😍😍I am gonna try that painting 😀😀There is a depth in the painting.
Amazing😮 I hope I could have your painting one day😊
Nice and cozy
