A guide that shows painters, drawers, doodlers, and urban sketchers how to bring their drawings to life with colourful, bold, yet accessible painting methods.

Urban Watercolor Sketching provides a fresh and simple approach to adding energy to sketches of urban scenes using watercolour painting. Whether you're an amateur artist, drawer, doodler, or sketcher, watercolour is a versatile sketching medium that's perfect for people on the goβ€”much like pen or pencil.

Accomplished designer and illustrator Felix Scheinberger offers a solid foundation in colour theory and countless lessons on all aspects of watercolour sketching, including:

  • Fundamentals like wet-on-wet, glazes, and washes
  • Materials and supplies to bring on your travels
  • Little-known tips and tricks, such as painting when water isn't handy and seeking out inspiration

Vibrant watercolour paintings grace each page, and light-hearted anecdotes (why do fish make great subjects to paint, you may be wondering...) make this a lively guide to the medium. With an open mind and sketchbook, you will be ready to capture the moments around you in luminous colour with confidence, creativity, and easeβ€”no matter what your skill level may be.
