I've been bringing my sketchbook around but I'm out of practice with an easel. This is a slightly rough re-start but we're back and we're ready for more painting adventures!

Don’t let proportions stop you from plein air

มุมมอง 330ปีที่แล้ว

For this gouache sketch, I decided to ignore the proportions a little bit because I don’t want it to stop me from sketching. I tried to direct my attention instead to the boat shape and the more muted background instead.

Hong Kong still uses bamboo structures for construction and renovation and I wanted to capture a bit of that in my sketchbook, even at the cost of introducing geometric elements into my sketch.

Making overcast sketches more vibrant

Overcast days tend to dull down your scene’s colours and it can be hard to spot the play of light & shadows. But what are some things we can do to make a scene more vibrant?

It’s been a long workday and I thought it’d be a nice reason to wind down with a sunset view of the city. Hope you enjoy this real-time sketch with gouache, and let me know if this is something you want to see more of!

Framing your sketch with dried gouache

มุมมอง 564ปีที่แล้ว

How do you sketch in the middle of the crowd? In some quiet corners, it’s often possible to sneak in a tiny sketchbook and your painting/drawing kit. It sometimes even makes for some interesting compositions as you focus on your subject in a tight corner.

Sketching complex greens with dried gouache

มุมมอง 422ปีที่แล้ว

Greens are really hard, but layering it bit by bit starting from the darkest to the lightest parts really help. The key is to be brave with values! These greens are created by two blues and two yellows, and that’s enough to create this full variety of greens.

Welcome to rush hour in one of the busiest subway stations, one that takes you to the airport! Apologies in advance for the choppy timelapse.

Zag while others are zigging: urban sketching with dried gouache

มุมมอง 768ปีที่แล้ว

An easy way to stand out from the crowd is to zag while everyone else is zigging, and it's no different than in sketches or in other areas of my life (e.g. photography). I try to switch things up a little bit in this sketch and push myself further each time.
