How to Sketch Architecture in Ink & Watercolour - Sketch 7: St Paul's Cathedral

- Learn how to sketch various types of architecture in ink and watercolour with this series of 7 lessons and sketches. In this final lesson, I sketch St Paul's Cathedral in London.
-----
MATERIALS I USED FOR ALL 7 SKETCHES
1. A spiralbound watercolour pad (A4 / American letter size). Cold-pressed (NOT) surface.
2. A travel set of 10 student watercolour pans: lemon yellow, cadmium yellow, cadmium red, alizarin crimson, Prussian blue, ultramarine blue, sap green, viridian green, yellow ochre, burnt sienna. I use a cheap set by Aquafine that I got from Amazon but any brand will do. Student quality is fine for sketching.
3. A watercolour pen brush. I use a couple of brands during the 7 sketches but I recommend Pentel over all others.
4. A black fine liner pen. I use a Sakura Pigma Micron pen with a 0.5 nib. Again, any brand is fine and a 0.5 nib is just a medium-sized nib.

I hope you enjoy this final lesson in the series. It's the most complex subject matter but hopefully I've broken it down enough that it's achievable. Any questions or feedback or requests, please post below in the comments👍
Great work!
Thank you so much for this valuable series. I've learned so much about perspective and how to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
It was fun and very rewarding .
Thank you for sharing these lessons. I enjoyed seeing how you begin each sketch and then trying it for myself. It has been challenging AND fun!
Very detailed explanation thank you so much, a small request could you link the reference picture if possible, thank you
Wow, the best 7 series of tutorials I've seen by far. I've always struggled with urban sketching and now I know why, I try to put in too much detail but you showed us how to simplify shapes to get the best results. Thank you so much.
This has been one of the most enjoyable series I've seen in a while. Excellent work on the whole.
Special thanks to showing where you look at the photo! It makes watching way more enjoyable😌😍
you're right .But its 1 year since he kept a video
why doesn't this channel upload anymore?? i really liked those videos
this is a real "king" tutorial as we say in Italy.. thank you.
Your videos have helped me so much I can’t even describe! I’m a new uni student and have felt a lot of pressure having to produce loads of drawings in like no time. I was an extremely confident drawer before uni, but had all of that confident knocked, but your tutorials have literally changed it all round for me!! Thank you for all the work you have put into them, it means a lot!!
I would love more of these!
You're a great teacher! This is just what I needed; someone to walk me through these simple points that are crucial to the composition. Thanks a million.
This is exactly what I needed thanks for showing how you find all the angles and the dome. I can use this on my drawings.
Oh this urban sketching art style and the watercolour style is so beautiful to me !!
Fantastic series! Lots of helpful suggestions and tips for sketching and water coloring!
Thank you!
This was so satisfying. Really helpful hints. I'll be giving this a try.
Best teaching ever! Everything is broken down into simpler pieces and enables a much better understanding of the sketch as a whole. This series is exactly what I was looking for to help me on location. Would love to see more with Phil Davies.
I am even interupting your video's you truly have an amazing talent , truly, and the gift to express it simple and easy, which it really isn't a simple kind of lk kind way JUST LOVE IT , FROM BELGIUM X
Thank you very much for this series - it was extremely helpful and informative! The way you broke down the process was excellent and I was really able to see the building blocks for these sketches.
I really love this series. Even I am a beginner, I can follow the painting process because the tutor's teaching strategies and explanations are great! I am looking forward to watching more videos from him. Thank you!
Thank you for this great experience of perspective. This last one was the most difficult but having been through the other six, this one was more successful. I’ve gained confidence. I found the series very well explained and and enjoyable.
This is such a great drawing! It is brilliant that you explain your thinking process. To me as a complete beginner this photo is quite disheartening, and it is so interesting to hear and see how the professional goes about it. Thank you from Berlin Germany! 👍🤗🇩🇪
Excellent. I was up near the dome last year when in London. Fabulous building, lovely sketching.
I can't believe I've been able to do these sketches, especially the last one! I have a left handed brain and have always struggled with perspective. I really wish you could do some more, 7 just isn't enough. Thank you it's been so enjoyable.
What a good Series - learn. a lot -Thank You
I have decided to go and pursue architecture and I am working on my portofolio. Well, it's been scary to just jump into a watercolor painting over a well build sketch that might have took me 2-3 hours to get right and up tight that might not even me similar. Thank you for the tips, the lesson over all, it helped a lot.
Many thank's for this lesson.
WONDERFULLY done
Did all 6 and this will be the last one. Enjoyed your tutorial, learned a lot. Thank you!

Gostei ver perspectiva abóboras de catedrais Torres ... gratooo
Really amazing work keep it up ands stay connected with us.. Thank u
Sir, About practice and confidence, you sturtled me starting with an archival pen, now I am wondering how are you going to coverup any mistake if happens. 😁
New to the community, enjoying your teaching, thank you very much.
+1
When doing an ink and wash I always find that yellow ochre makes some parts too opaque and blocks out the line work underneath. Really surprised that didnt have much impact on this sketch
perfect
Gratooo excelenteeee n
What considerations go into a decision to doing ink first, then color vs the other way around? Are there pros and cons for some types of drawings?
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial…. I would like to know the list of 4 colours u used while rendering?
May you always be happy in your life
Fabulous! Which paper are you using?
Gostei porque o método é claro
Can I ask.. what kind of paintbrush you usually use like in that video ??
well done!! such a great sketch!! I love watercolor like this, thanks for sharing. I'm wondering is it possible for collaboration
why I'm cryin watching this
The griddrawingtool is now unavailable, error 503. Will it be fixed? Thanks!
good
That photo needs rotating 4 or 5 degrees anticlockwise.The centre verticals should be vertical.
They don’t NEED to be perfectly vertical 🤦🏼♀️
Gostaria ver a arte finalll
i can't use the site anymore, it says "HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable."
How do the watercolour paints not make the pen bleed
Now I know why my sketch looks dead. I'm trying to take all the details and it looks so unnaturally. Thank you

I love your tutorials and i would really like more of them but since you just disappeared 1 year ago i guess that wont be happening.
