Everything you need to start urban sketching // urban sketching for beginners

I'm a knitter. Early on I learned to buy the best quality yarn I could afford because I'd enjoy knitting more with good yarn vs crappy yarn. That carries through to art supplies. If say the paper buckles or the water sits on top, or the paints are weak, a person will be frustrated and not enjoy the experience. Learning something new is enough challenge without struggling with mediocre supplies.

thank you so much, I am 64 and have been trying to paint since 2005 sadly I had a stroke 2years Go.and my left hand side took a beating I loved the post and have subscribed to watch some of your other posts I now struggle with dexterity but you are giving me the confidence to do something. thank you Taria from the UK. good luck.

i already have all of my favourite sketching supplies figured out, but i LOVE seeing what others artists use! thanks for sharing!

Awesome recommendations. Good quality doesn’t mean most expensive nor big name brand. You’ve named some great quality products for beginners.

Perfect timing for this video.. Tomorrow will be THE day! I planned going out for urban sketching on site for so long.... Rain, work, others ruined the plans. Tomorrow! Will check your video once more later to get ready 🙏

Great info, thank you!

Thanks for sharing and the 411 on the Etchr kit

Thank you for sharing 🙏

I actually like the A6 Hahnemühle Portrait sketchbook. With that i have a tiny sketchbook, that is great for on the go, but i can also sketch over two pages and basically have an A5 sized sheet of paper....

What a pity I find this post so late. I start skecthing 3 years a go. For the fountain pen, in my place Lamy Safari is quite pricy but I found Pilot Kaküno is a good fountain pen. Only I could not find water resisten ink for it. Ink from Pilot catridge ink slightly bleed so I use when I make black and white sketch. For sketch with water color I use fine liner. That's so true, after I meshed around with so many student grade water color I thought the same, for the paint we should go direct with AP standard WaCo. That's what I suggest to friend of me who just start to sketching. There's economical option. In my country, I found AP standard waco 'Phoenix', a brand from China is good. Honestly I never try any DS waco, I just find Phoenix in tin box is better than any student grade we found at stationary store.

Your videos are great, so informative, lots of tips, hints, ideas and techniques, supplies, etc. Also, totally off topic: love the new haircut!!

So helpful! I think what I need more is... confidence and speed to paint 😅

Thanks for this informative post everything I needed to know in one

Great video. I'd recommend a folding stool too.

Thank you so very much Taria - love all your cool suggestions, and helpful to see them on a website as well. Keep on truckin'! And have a great summer - >:^) From Copenhagen

Amazing video as always. Love it❤❤❤

Your videos are very informative. You do a great job. I love the Fabre castell collapsible water bucket. I picked one up in Germany a few years ago. I’ve not seen them in the US, but then I live in Oklahoma! By the way I like your hair cut.

Very helpful video and I love your new hair cut! Very cute!

thanks for the many tips. I am a beginner in sketching; am going to an Alaskan cruise soon but really don't know what and where to start?

Love the new haircut 😍 you're so naturally pretty and your video was very helpful thanks 👍🤓
