- A quick and fun, pen and wash demonstration of my Urbansketching style. Easy to follow and learn.
The reference for this painting was a photo I took in Porto Portugal.
I was fortunate enough to have sketched this same image on location.
** Check out my Etsy store. High quality prints available **
www.etsy.com/ca/shop/Sheelerart
On Arches 140lb hot press,
Natural white paper.
Uni-ball Micro pen is a rollerball type and is almost indestructible.
Both the pen and paper
are Archival Quality
Winsor Newton: Sap Green, Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine, Sepia, Yellow Ochre
da Vinci: Quinacridone Fuchsia and Phthalo Blue.
This is my usual "on the go" palette
but it can change to fit the subject.
Thank you for Watching.
Sorry, no music on this one. - Jak na to + styl
There're a few things I like about this video: 1) The artist doesn't talk my ear off; 2) He uses real time speed; 3) The captions about what colors to use are very helpful; 4) The sketch leaves room for imaginning; 5) The techniques gives us ideas to develop our own style.
Charles Z I would like if he talked more tho. I don’t like the silence
Karaleigh Loya I play some music on another device whilst I watch and draw with him 🙂
@@always_cornelia Same!
Cristian Fabian Avila ✋🏼
I agree but I would like to see an Insert of what he is drawing from so I can better follow along.
Thank you for not making this a speed paintig video like 99% of every other demonstration video I come across. People learn so much more when it is not a sped up video.
You're very welcome Ben. You're right about real-time speed. Thank you :)
Yes, I don't understand why they want to make the video in speed up :( everyone can do it on CZcams if they want. So thanks!
99% would slow the video down by one percent
But I do understand and agree with what you are saying
Edit: just realized that I am late af
Ben i agree. You learn more from seeing every brush or pen stroke.
It would be great if you could add the photograph you used to do the art
work. It would help us a lot to see what you pick from it and what you
leave out, how you choose the color to use, etc.
Alexis Gonzalez yessssss
Good idea.
Exactly! It would add even more to the lesson. We won't judge whether it's identical to the photo or some features were created; we want to learn that too. :D
Alexis Gonzalez technique how to is more important then how come.
I agree
I’ve become obsessed with your art! I’ve binged watch everything you’ve done and now I’m about to have a go. Absolutely love your pieces they’re just amazing. Thank you so much for sharing I will definitely be getting my family to buy some for my birthdays and Christmas’- my new WANTED list. 👍🏼🥰
perfect shading
Thank you Jamal :)
This is the type of drawing I'd like to develop
Thank you. So glad you enjoyed this one. Peter :)
Love this tutorial! Thanks for sharing! ❤
Your drawings are always my eyes delight!!! Thanks for sharing your work!!
The best 18 minutes spent. It was so meditative
+Samir Patnaik . Nice comment. Thank you :)
Thank you. Love your style of video. Simple, real time, annotated, I learn so much from them!
Thank you. Glad to hear that. Peter
Absolutely loved this!!! great tutorial! thank you so much!
You are very welcome. Appreciate you're watching :)
Fantastic Peter, really inspiring. And proud for having you sketching my country!
Thank you so much for sharing!
+Pedro Ribeiro Thank you Pedro. Your country is very beautiful and inspiring. Peter
Appreciated this instructional method, detailed, notes on screen with color info and approach to finish regarding shadows. Thank you.
Amazing! I love your style.
BRILLIANT!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!❤
Thank you. You're 'quirky 'pen lines give so much character to the picture. I love the deep shadows and the detail of the lamp, washing line, chimney and green door and narrow streets. Very atmospheric.
+Graham Heywood . Thanks Graham. Quirky is king. I intentionally make sure my lines are not straight and even. Peter
Spellbound! A difficult sketch done so easily... thanks for the great tutorial 👌👌👌
One of my favorites:) Very easy to follow along especially with the pen work.
Thank you for showing up on my CZcams feed. I also watercolor sketch. You have inspired me. Thanks.
This is absolutely beautiful, I'd love to be able to create art like this one day. I've just refound my love for drawing and your work is very inspiring, thank you for sharing!
It's just like being a child again, discovering things for the first time :
' Oh ! It's the underside of a roof ! Oh, and that's a balcony !'
Great comments Ryan. Thanks so much
Urban sketching is soo relaxing and fun! Great vid.
Wonderful. I love Porto...
Thanks
Thank you for opening my mind about pen and ink and watercolor sketching.
Love all your drawings!
I love the silence. No music. No talking. No background noise. This video allows me to focus on the drawing and water colour technique. Thank you !
Thanks Tiggy. Any relation to Ziggy and those spiders.
@@PeterSheelerart ....hahaha....thank you Peter for recognizing the connection. My youngest sister calls me Tiggy. One day when I was away on a school trip, she listened to my David Bowie's Albums without my permission. After she heard the song Ziggy Stardust she nicked named me Tiggy Stardust, because I'm left handed and an Aries (ruled by the planet Mars).
By the way, I subscribed to your channel. I really love your work. You are an amazing artist.
i just tried following along with this and it turned out nicely for my third time trying watercolor! you have a wonderful art style. definitely looking forward to seeing your other videos.
By far the best tutorial / follow along video on watercolors I have come across all month !! Thanks so much ! Pure art , nothing chatty or sped up ! Brilliant
Thank you very much Dhiraj. Greatly appreciated and glad you found them helpful.
thank you so much for your fabulous work , i love it
Tried it and doesn’t look too bad. Thanks, learned a lot by doing it.
Thank you for taking the time to record and upload so many videos. I think it's just so generous of you to share your skills with strangers, especially for free. Truly, thank you. I've wanted to take painting classes but local classes have not been in my budget. Somehow, searching CZcams had never previously crossed my mind.
I'm so thankful I stumbled upon your videos. It's nearly 4 am and I'm still up watching your demos, in awe at how quickly you can produce such beautiful paintings.
I am so inspired to try my hand at painting after watching your videos (and, of course, after I get some rest.)
Such beautiful work in every painting!
LOL It's tough to paint when you're tired ;) Thank you for those very kind words. Peter
Great video! Its very generous of you to share your experience and insight. Us beginners really appreciate it!!
You're very welcome James. Thank you :)
Thanks again Peter for passing these techniques along. Pen and wash is something I would neve haver attempted before watching your videos.
+Lee Barnes . Thank you Lee. Glad I've inspired you to give it a try. I've only been doing line and wash for about a year myself. Peter
Love your art. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you very much and you're very welcome :)
really nailed the feel of the place with your color choices.
Ｖｅｒｙ very fresh & beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much :)

Thank you very much Judith. So glad you enjoy them :)
another good one - you make it look sooooo easy! Thank you very much for sharing.
+Judy Cozon . You are always welcome Judy. Glad you're enjoying them. Peter
Thanks peter for this awesome video! I'm an absolute beginner but I tried to follow your video and it turned out really well. I hope you will keep posting more!
A wonderful demo and in real time, it really shows your dexterity and style.
Thanks so much. I only have two time-lapse out of over 100 videos. :)
The way you sketch is so fascinating! It’s so simple and so lively!
Keep it up and God bless!
You have been a great inspiration for me. We have so many beautiful places here in Greece and every day I say "I have to draw this". Thank you for showing me that it is not that complicated.
Thank you very much. Always nice to hear I've inspired. I've traveled through Greece. I must do some paintings from your great country!!! :)
I tried this today and I’m about to cry out of happiness, it’s so beautiful , Thank you sir I won’t share it in my social media so the credit will stay yours .
So good, well done!
So awesome and inspiring. Thanks for sharing👍🏻
Thank you very much Paul :)
OH THIS IS WHAT THE STYLE IS CALLED! I've been absolutely in love with this style and have been to trying to find tutorials without knowing what it's called and not finally I found out it's called line/pen and wash !! I love it
Line and wash is a great form. Lines establish edges and watercolor rapidly adds volume by adding value. It doesn't take long to create a finished work, so it is great for travel.
Beautiful sketch. Love the look of pen and wash.
Thank you Amy :)
this is so calming
Thank you for “no sound”. I really appreciate it.
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching :)
That's awesome! I can't stop watching your videos, Peter! I really adore your style! Hope one day I'll be able to draw at least a half good as you
Thank you very much Daria. I'm sure you'll be at least a good. Just takes practice. Peter
I love ink wash! You’ve inspired me!❤️
Always classy!!!
I subscribed! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
+Will Terrell . Thank you very much Will. Promise you more. Peter
same
Thanks Amina. Almost missed this. Peter
I realize how much time you have spent putting your demonstrations online and I want you to know that I each one I've seen is like a jewel in itself. Thank you for sharing your approach with us and bringing art, learning and excitement to the Internet.
Alyse
Very kind words. Greatly appreciated. Peter :)
Wonderful! You make it look easy. Thank you!
Thank you very much Jorge
I love this style
Thank you. I've been dabbling in line and wash city scenes but didn't know what to call it or more importantly how to achieve all the layers and shadowing. Love the look. Can't wait to get home and try it.
Thank you very much. Always nice to hear I've inspired :)
This looks amazing, I will try to do the same. I hope it turn out good too 😊
I love the free expression in your style. The looseness and lack of precise perfection is inspirational.
Thank you very much. So glad you enjoy my style. I have many
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing your work.
+Adam Hutcheson . You're are very welcome Adam. Thanks for watching. Peter
Lindoooo.... 👏👏👏✨🎨🖌️💖🌹
so glad that I found this amazing channel...so helpful....thank you :)
I'm glad you found me as well. Thank you. Peter
This was fantastic. Thanks Peter - my favourite style is pen sketching, and I love your style. It's so difficult to find other artists that sketch in the loose style I aspire too. I'm so happy that I found this video. Haven't sketched in a few days, and this one has inspired me to get my pen and water color pencils out. Love it!
Thank you very much Jay. Very glad to hear that
Amazing as always. Thank you.
+Patrick Nap .Thanks as always Patrick. Peter
you're so good at this, i'm so immersed in this one painting good jib
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it :)

Beautiful. It's a pleasure to watch your process. Truly inspirational.
Thank you Geo. Great to hear. Peter

This is so beautifuuuul !!!!!!! Thank you so much!
Nice comment. Thank you :)
I love it❣️
I love your sketch style! So beautiful
Very kind words. Greatly appreciated. Peter :)
I love the way you sketch those buildings
Is it possible to do this on a hot pressed paper?
This was done on Arches 140lb Hot Press. My favorite paper :)
Snowy Nightcore I would actually suggest using got press if you intend on a loser sketch with a few broken lines
Hank Fratus what kind of difference does it make?
WOW!! Just WOW
Thank you very much Vivien
Just downright spectacular. Love the entire result and method of communicating the techniques. Hugely helpful. Really appreciate you posting this.
Thank you Neal. Thank is great to hear.
❤️thank you! I’m going to try this 😀
Simply amazing!
Thank you very much
Wonderful!!!
So relaxing
My favorite so far. Thank you!
Thank you . So glad you enjoyed this one. Peter :)
So glad I stumbled upon your work. I haven't been inspired to paint for maybe a year or more. Your paintings have done this for me. Looking forward to dusting off my brushes and hopefully producing something! I have only watched 3, so I've a lot more to watch. So relaxing. Thank you so much.
That is so nice to hear Teresa. Makes it all worth for me. Thanks, Peter
thanks for the inspiration
it's great joy watching your videos
Thank you very much. So glad you enjoyed it. Peter
Nice sketch and watercolor works. I love it!

You really make me want to try it😊 I'm glad I subscribed
Lindo desenho vintage 👍😍
Muito obrigado
I’ve been watching you for several years. You make it look simple.
Thanks Steven. Looks can be deceiving.
I honestly think this is the best watercolor instructional vid I have seen on youtube ..and I have watched many. Something just clicked whilst I was watching this and I managed to create something similar after weeks of struggling and failing. Thanks Peter.
Now that is great to hear! Thank you very much. Hearing that makes this all worthwhile for me :) Peter
Superior technique, yet so simple... Looking forward to new videos. Thanks.
+Socrates Alexander . Thank you very much! So glad you're watching. Peter
Thanks so much! This got me excited to try watercolors. I tried to recreate your work. :)
ALL I CAN SAY IS "WOW" SO SO BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you very much :)
So beautiful to watch. Really enjoyed this video - you make it look so simple!
Thank you very much Ed
i could watch this ALL day!!! So satisfying! Thank you
Very kind words. Greatly appreciated. Peter :)
Very cool. Love the explanation of the colours used.
Thanks David. Glad you enjoyed it. Peter
it makes me want to try it!
amazing:) loved it!!
that blue is so vibrant and insane
Lol. It is. Thanks.
This took my way out of my comfort zone as a 1 year beginner but it was wonderful. Thank you.
Just got into watercolor (I usually paint with oil) and I've been watching your videos to analyze your use of shadows and how you mix ! watercolor has quite the learning curve but I'm learning a lot from you ! thank you !
Thank you very much. Always great to hear I've helped in some way :)
love watching your videos. ...
+A Murphy . Always appreciated. Thank you, Peter
