I have been teaching myself sketching for about 2 years seriously. I love it! But I have no formal training. Ordered your book, wanting to learn.. in the first 32 pages a lot of what I have been searching for was right here. I LOVE this book!!
Brilliant! An absolute banger of a review. Being _very_ new to this, I loved seeing all of the different styles and hearing your thoughts on the various techniques. I totally fell in love with Lis Watkins - the sparse line drawings with rich minimal color is just gorgeous. Thanks for introducing us to so many talented artists. I know this was a lot of hard work on your part, but it is very much appreciated. You've earned a like and a sub. cheers! J
I find it so amazing that the urban sketching scene attracts so many architects and those like me that were architects that are no longer in the field. I find my architectural background inhibits me from being loose and artistic etc. I love seeing different styles.
Teoh Yi Chie also does some digital urban sketching along with the more traditional sketchbook sketching. He has some digital sketching tutorials on his TH-cam channel
Toned paper artists seem to use mostly dry-ish media: colored/WC/Inktense pencils, Neocolor, pastels, gel pens, paint pens. I have started gray & tan toned sketchbooks. It's very tricky. I'm practicing by drawing art supplies until I get a better understanding of how to get affects with my supplies. A white gel pen, drawing pen/Micron) and 1 or 2 other colors goes a very long way. It's easy to overwork a sketch on toned paper. I truly need NO help overworking my pieces 😂😂🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️😪
I've let my sketching practice lapse in the last year, but your video inspired me to get cracking again, thank you. A really diverse and intellegent presentation of styles - really enjoyable to watch!
Wow, Taria! Thank you so much for this excellently put together compilation of artists! I can see why it took you a long time to create. The amount of information you gave is admirable, and you gave me a deep well of artists to look up and follow.(I took a screen shot of the list below) I’m new to urban sketching and this video gave me a wonderful view of the different styles that are represented. Thanks again!
Great collection of different sketchers and their styles! I had the pleasure of meeting and sketching with several of them at the USK Singapore Symposium in 2015. I’d taken a break from urban sketching for a while but and excited to be joining the Asialink Sketchwalk in Penang, Malaysia, in a couple of days’ time. Your video is giving me a huge motivation to keep drawing regularly again! Hope you can feature some more sketchers from South East Asia soon too!
What an amazing compilation of artists. Thank you for taking the time to share these talented people. I'm sure I'd never have discovered any of them with out this video. You are my first urban sketch artist and so far my only! But I enjoy your videos with both your creations and with your admiration for others' works, too. This is the way creative people should work--together, sharing, supporting. Thank you. And by the way I have your wonderful, helpful, well-written "Beginners Guide to Urban Sketching" book.
Thank you Tara for creating another videos like this even though you have been my inspiration since the pandemic. I bought some of the art supplies because of your recommendations. I bought had your ebook and now the hard copy book to travel with when I want to sketch my travels. Still a struggle because most people want to snap pictures and ready to move on, :). One of these days, I will join a on-location workshop.
Very grateful for your videos on the different urban sketches and their original approaches to their art. 🎨 is the one profession that makes rebellion popular & profitable, depending. Artists are supposed to ignore rules in order to make completely original art. That said, we all have to start somewhere. Learn the basics then create your own recipes with your supplies & skills. What 'sketchbooks' are for. I am seeing many confuse artists journals/artists books (works of art in themselves) with sketchbooks (unfinished experiments). I use $1 store blankets journals for my experimental sketches & my good watercolor & toned sketchbooks for finished pieces. Artists journal. Blessings from Vermont 🙏🏽
Thanks for the fab video Taria! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Lis Watkins and Ohn Mar Win at Lis’s sketch walk in London a few weeks ago. It was a great experience. They are both such lovely people. Teoh Yi Chie is also one of the artists who does a lot of digital sketching. I met him as well in Singapore this past weekend at the USKsingapore sketch walk. 😊
Oh my goodness!!! So many sketchers to see!! I found something I liked with everyone of them. I thought I'd found my favorite, but then I lived every one of them for whatever reason! Thank you so much for showing these fantastic people!! ❤❤❤
I love your videos, I found you through a membership I am part of owned by @LouiseFletcherArt I have learned so much, and went quite happily down the rabbit hole of urban sketching
Niaz Hannan (greys & black excellence), Teoh Chie (excellent / outstanding sketchwalks), Koosje Koene ( outstanding urban sketcher & use of art tools), Prema watercolor ( very very easy stills for beginners) , Sketchbook Skool, Collin Woodward, ... to name a few.
Great video. Take a look at American artist Austin Briggs (1960's) on his art reportage in Vietnam. His career was mainly in magazine editorial art & illustration but its cool to see his progression from very tight illustrations to looser & fluid economy with his line work. His series in Vietnam could give you a glimpse into the history of art reportage as well. There's a good Pete Beard video on his life/work on YT to get a good idea of his work.
Nobody is untalented, practice makes things possible. I have seen a huge difference in my artwork, i make sure i paint everyday no matter how busy I am ...so just keep at it. Talent is inborn yes but polishing it lies in our hands. I do botanicals but I love urban sketching too
@@dupeit007 when I refer to my lack of talent it is not my ability that I criticize. After all I was once accepted at École des Beaux-Arts in Montreal where the competition was fierce. I am referring to my disgusting lack of imagination. There is no fantasy in that brain of mine. And I'm not interested in drawing a copy of a photograph.
@@ginabisaillon2894Ah, that's because art schools teach status quo or copying the style of someone else. You make money painting what other people want. You make history painting what YOU want. 😊
No Ian Fennelly?! Shame on you! I kid, I kid 😂…he & John Harrison are two of the best out there, both just so laid back abt the whole process. Don’t think just draw.

Liz's style reminds me of 60's jazz record album cover arts. Amazing talent she has!
wonderful collection of art & references, thank you! Two aussie sketchers I like are Sketching Scottie & Liz Steele
I love when you do these videos! It's great for finding new inspiration.
I'm so glad, thank you!
I love the white spaces drawings. Today I’m going to try it in my sketchbook. Thanks for a wonderful video.
This video was really inspiring and it was so cool to discover so many urban sketchers/artists.
Awesome stuff. Good work- cool vid. Thank you 🪶
You're such a wonderful communicator. I have just "discovered you". I'm now a subscriber. Thankyou so much for all your wonderful output.

Big fan of his too.
This really does make me want to get Sketchy, so many great artists.

Great video I was able to see the style I'm more drawn to it base on that I can build on it to work on my own...Thanks
What a comprehensive review!!!! Thank you so much!!!! I loved it
I love your videos! A lot of the time I was inspired and actually did a bit better on my composition. Thank you!
I really enjoyed the whole video. Thank you. I got a lot of inspiration from the video.

Would absolutely love to see a video on documentary style! Thanks a lot for this one, super immersive!
Thanks, Taria, for a great overview of urban sketching styles, and for introducing me to some sketchers I didn’t know before.

Superb!!! Thanks so much!!!
Very nice video😍😍
Great video, just found you here on youtube. I think I might try this.

Doug Jackson and Teoh Yi Chie (parkablogs) are wonderful too! 🙂
"Steven B Reddy" - what a wicked name! 😅 I wonder if anyone's ever written it as "Steven Be Ready"??
Inspirational! Thanks

Watching from Atlanta 👍❤️
Very interesting video thanks.
Do you have Draw with me type of videos? I've scrolled but cannot find them. Also looked at your playlists but couldn't find anything.
If you are unfamiliar look up Kim Jung Gis work he drew both from life and imagination some of the most amazing scenes in magical perspective.
❤❤
Teoh Yi Chie dabbles in tablet painting
Which category would you place yourself in Taria?
Oopps. Taria. That was a typo, sorry . 😊
I love how this makes me realize how totally untalented I am!
@@ginabisaillon2894 That is hilarious.

Having fun and enjoying while we sketch is the most important thing… I guess 😊
