Sketching freely and letting go of perfectionism is a struggle for many of us. Here I show you an example of how to approach a sketch with that intention and come out of the other side with an exciting result.
Urban sketching ink and watercolor in Lisbon, Portugal.

Getting rid of my fear of not getting it 'perfect' was my biggest issue. I was scared to paint then would ruin the painting trying to get it right. I started doing very quick sketches using a fountain pen and not caring if the lines were straight or I had to add a second line. Then I applied the colours loosely wet on wet , letting them spread into each other. Quite frankly, I enjoyed the process more and liked the end results better. It gives the scene a certain charm.

Amen to that! I come from an architecture design background so it's been a journey of filtering that perfectionist tendency whilst having systems for line weights and such for depth and dynamics

Being inspired by what you see and not enslaved by it is the hardest lesson to learn, in my opinion

To draw on a painting, IN INK without pencil first, is AMAZING and so daring! It worked and is a beautiful piece of art.

I was at that exact location last September. Your sketch brought back all the vibrancy and surprise of the magic found down any street in Lisbon. Great insight into the process!

I’ve always been a ‘doodler’ nothing special, but I’ve always wanted to sketch & paint. Not sure I’d have the balls to set up in a busy plaza or street to do it though. Even though I’m getting on a bit in years i found this video encouraging because of its simplicity so I’d like to thank you.

@CatwellArt 10 месяцев назад

Thank You so much for the lovely video! :) Lisboa is really inspiring for sketching! My question is how do you deal with distractions, while painting outside?

@seethelines 10 месяцев назад

Good question! @catwellart ! As in people? Let them have their moment then respectfully say I'm working and have to focus. When rushed with time like the shadows and sun light the time limit sort of bulldozes the distractions

@CatwellArt 10 месяцев назад

@@seethelines Thank you! Yes, people, all kind of noises too. Although I have to admit that people I've met have been respectful. Yes, the light changes so drastically sometimes.

Trying to be constructive, you could use a "fado" music instead of an arabic one. It would situate any one immediately in Portugal and especially in Lisbon. Love the sketch. Cheers!

@seethelines 5 месяцев назад

I guess this plays on the moorish theme as this location is that. Also it's tough to find Fado music as copyright free
