In this class, architect and urban sketcher Barbara Luel presents an intuitive approach to observational drawing that focuses on perception rather than perspective rules. Inspired by Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards, she introduces simple exercises designed to build confidence, improve sketching skills, and make drawing more enjoyable. Suitable for beginners and experienced artists alike, the course covers observation, expressive line work, volume, texture, and basic watercolour techniques, with the aim of making urban sketching more relaxed and rewarding. I’m still trying to understand how to sketch better, I followed this course. Maybe one day I will succeed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
