Today I will show you the set that is always in my backpack. The best set for sketching. I couldn't show you this set before as it existed only in one copy. But now you can find an order the Ultimate Sketching Set on my website. We made only 100 sets like that from rough brown genuine leather. Today we are heading to Mexico, where we will make a quick sunny sketch, while not leaving my studio.

It was a very cold day (only 2 degrees Celsius), but this is one of the very last chances to go outside for a plein air session! Especially since today's object is my son's school, and I hope he will be happy with my sketch! However, because my fingers got cold, it was a rather short 6-minute sketch.

Sorry but today we have a really long video. Looks like a free video lesson :) I hope you forgive me for taking half an hour. So, today I can call our exercise "sketch without the sky." I want to say that you don’t always have to include the sky in your sketches and they will still look finished. Why? I'll tell you now.

Lights and Graphics. We never talk about how important graphic design is for our artworks. Today we will create a fast sketch using only light and silhouette created almost by graphics. Do not expect more from this than just an exercise in order not to forget some important things that may be useful to you in complex projects.

Sometimes all we need to make a watercolor is one single shadow. Of course, we must give it the right shape and create a good balance ... within the shadow itself. Make it somewhere warmer, somewhere lighter ... Oddly enough, sometimes, just one shadow suffices. Today we will see this happening :) Daniel Smith watercolor paints on Saunders Waterford 300 gsm Rough paper, 15 x 11 inches.

Today’s exercise is about clouds. Rarely any landscape can do without the sky, so let's see how to combine a wet on wet and a dry brush technique in a one single-layer watercolor sketch. Daniel Smith watercolor paints on Arches paper, 15 x 11 in.
