I'm an aspiring urban sketcher in Toronto. This is where I post my sketches.
How I Sketch a Nature Scene in High Park with Watercolour
Join me for an urban sketching session in High Park to paint nature. These sketches and studies were done entirely on location. The thumbnail watercolour explorations were inspired by the work of watercolour artist Daniel Pito Campos. I'm trying to improve my abilities to sketch and paint nature, Daniel's work emphasizes mark making that embraces the medium of watercolour.

When I saw 'High Park' I had to take a look...and I was intrigued with how you manage plein air and landscapes (my subjects are portraits human and animal and florals at a desk). I've lived in several neighbourhoods in T.O. including H.P., and as a sailor, visited your sailboat video too...painting and T.O. felt like home!. Anyway, my recent visit to a family chalet in the Laurentians has me wanting to paint it - How to do landscape???!! Foilage???!!! I'll be checking our more of your videos.
Thank you Janacvk. I’ve struggled with landscapes and nature scenes but I really want to improve because I enjoy being in nature to draw. I took a Domestika course by Daniel Pito Campos on landscape watercolour that I learned a lot from.
I like this takeaway from your normal urban sketching. Could you do more of the nature simplified watercolor/ink studies? Thank you for your time and talent!
Thank you. I was recently at a cottage and did quite a few landscape/nature studies that I will be posting in the next few weeks.
Awesome! High Park is such a peaceful place to sketch
Thanks Futurecondos! Yes I’m lucky to live close by
Thank you for your videos and lessons. I started to watch your videos for a little while ago and loved your work. Thank you again from Canada.
Hi Pearl, thank you - I'm glad you enjoy the videos.
Nice!
Thanks Abdul!
What sketchbook are you using? I love the size
It’s Etchr labs watercolour A4, I love the size as well!
Love this train painting. And I cannot believe you got those letters done so well w that big brush! Well done. You have command of your brush, that’s for sure. It’s nice to see you learning new things and analyzing as you go. I have painted for a long while and am still learning-there’s so much to keep seeking w watercolors. That is for sharing!
Thank you Jessica - it’s a fun learning experience. I just got my first pad of arches and I’m enjoying playing with lots of water and pigment.
32:40 Is it the case that reality, as it were, appears differently than in a photo? Maybe the light was different and/or changing? I wonder... In any case, the sketch and washes--quite lovely. Thank you for taking us along on this journey 😊 Wishing you great and lasting health🌺
Yes, the light would definitely have changed from when I took the photo and the camera lens is different than the lens of a human eye. Thank you surrected for the comment and nice wishes.
Lovely dealing of subtle tones great drafting skills thankyou for a very enjoyable walk through your skills and a lovely voice to listen to
Thank you Stephen - I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I hope to keep making them so comments like yours are very encouraging.
Love love your watercolor painting. What highlighter white pen are you using? It works really well for highlighting. I use gouache white paint which is cumbersome to use. I like your pen. Would you please share what brand and what pen are you using. Thank you from Canada.
Thank you Pearlkally - the pen is a Posca paint marker. It’s funny I just picked up a tube of white gouache to try for highlights and I do find it cumbersome.
Thank you for your reply. I will look into getting one of this pen.
Very nice airy sketch. Captain Tom is my sketchy hero as well. As for waterproof inks for fountain pens I can recommend Platinum Carbon Black ink or deAtramentis Document inks. Both uses Tom as well, I like more the first one.
Thanks - yes I love his style so much! I just picked up a fude pen and the platinum carbon black ink.
I think you’ll end up with flexi nib like the Zebra G anyway 😁
I'm no expert but I tend to like my trees when I barely put down an ink outline and build the leaves out of paint splotches or dots, rather than lines or swirls. Then I layer darker spots and lighter spits to make it feel more 3d. But I'm probably not the one to take advice from hahah
That sounds like a better strategy!
I have seen sone artists using a tripod with a piece of plywood attached so they can place their pad/sheet
Thanks Charlie
There is a rig for overhead filming made by neewer being sold on Amazon that looks pretty good. I also have model railways and I often do how to video’ s but often the subject us out of frame🤣
This is a great sketch, thank you.
Thanks Margaret!
Cars are challenging. I have been sketching the. cora few years now and it doesn’t get easy. Wheels are particularly difficult but I like your comment about not producing a computer drawing. I probably make it difficult for myself trying to make them realistic looking when I don’t have those skills. Very frustrating Thanks for sharing your thought’s, I too am not that comfortable sketching in front of people.
I find wheels challenging too!
A very lovely sketch, I like your style. Thank fo explaining your proces, why you do certain things. I'll watch more of your sketches. The music isnt necessary, especially as you're speaking. The odd moments of silence are ok, but i do prefer hearing the artist's voice, thanks.
Thank you Margaret
Great video. I like your explanation and talking through each step. very helpful!
@@imslowlylearningtodraw thank you, I’m glad you found the video helpful.
Wow! I love (yes, love) the mark-makings, the tones, the compositions--the vision! So beautiful❣
Thank you very much!
You might want to watch some Andy Evansen demos he’s an amazing landscape watercolorist
@@garylangieri2198 thanks Gary - I will check him out.
Thanks for sharing your process. Nice images! I struggle with getting that looseness when drawing and painting cars.
@@darajohnson9443 Thanks Dara
Great painting. What is the watercolor set you are using?😊 7:53
Thank you - it’s a Daniel Smith 24 half pan set.
What watercolor set are you using in the video? 3:55
I really enjoyed watching you draw and paint this scene. It’s fresh, interesting and relaxed. Love it!
Thank you Elizabeth!
Longer for me. Thank you
Great!
What a great sketching trip!
Thanks Artep
@@AGsBlog_ I admire that you pulled out the sketchbook even thought the weather wasn´t so good. Is it Etchr A5 or A4? Next time you take a trip around Europe you have to stop by the Czech republic as well :-)
@@artepart It’s the A4 size. Yes! I’d love to go to the Czech republic next time.
@@AGsBlog_ it´s a beast (A4) but I love it as well. Currently working first time in A4.
@@artepart yes, this is my first A4 sketchbook and I’m really enjoying the size even if it’s big to carry around.
Nice ❤❤❤❤
Thank you Neetus
Subscribed! I love these videos. Post more!
As the owner of a "FUN" car I think I would have appreciated you doing a water colour of my car. Nice job.
Thanks Rick - I did hear some kind words from the owner.
Maybe put the video in real time when you get to a difficult part to paint.
@@kathiecopeland5169 Thanks - that’s a good suggestion.
Lovely. I am just starting out and have not done anything on location, but that is my ultimate goal. Just subscribed and am looking forward to more videos.
@@Ekinnajay That’s great! I find sketching on location to be very meditative.
Love the car! What size Sakura Pigma Micron pens you use?
Thanks! I use 01, 02, and 03 mostly.
This is awesome. Cars are still so hard for me. And you painted it so tastefully.
Thank you!
I recently, this summer decided to join the plein air group at my Art Association and I have to say it is really fun and freeing. I bought a small WC sketch book and started on the last page,lol! It has really opened my art up to trying new things out with no real expectations but to just play and explore the medium.
Daniel Smith has some nice vintage greens, like fuschite genuine or amazonite genuine are 2 beautuful vintage looking greens. wish I could post a pic here.
looks great😮 AG , I gotta draw this
Thank you!
I am going to use the pen cap idea! Great video, good perspective and proportion, all the people are great! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
“Struggling”. But you did it and it turned out beautifully.
Thank you! I do feel like I struggle in most of my sketches - either something doesn’t turn out how I imagined or I try something new - in the end there’s usually things I like about each sketch and things I learned.
Inspiring. I intend to take up plein air and see how I get on.
That’s great!
The thumbnail of this video had a nice 3d quality to it, and drew me in. Nice job on a complicated subject. Enjoyed the process.
Thank you!
Love the commentary and Timelapse. It would be great if you had what you are looking at inset on the screen. Love the picture.
Thank you. That’s a good idea I’ll try in a future video.
very nice, love the water strokes and highlights, great tugboat, Annie would have been proud, ( tugboat Annie)
Thank you!
amazing 💪
Thank you!
I absolutely love your train! Can I ask you? I am doing an house portrait on a 14 x 12 and can only find a print shop with a 12 x 12 flat bed for printing, what do artist do if they want to make a good copy to share of their art work? do I make a picture to print? thank you in advance if you can help. 😊
Thank you! I’m not sure I’ll be much help re printing as I’ve never done flat bed printing - is it 12x14 feet? Someone else perusing here might know.
@@AGsBlog_ Hi, thanks for your quick reply, no the copy would be in inches. I am guessing take a digital picture then print it the size I need, thank you, again.
love the choice of color, muted and beautiful detail on train, good job, thank you for doing this in real time, you are helping to encourage new artists like me😊
Thank you, I’m glad you’re feeling encouraged
Do you have the link to the domestika course you took?
It's the course by Alex Hillkurtz www.domestika.org/en/alexhillkurtzart Note, if you sign-up for it watch out for the Plus subscription that gets auto-added to the purchase.
Really like the muted color choices and shadowy details, very nice
Thank you!
Does the watercolor technique have to wet the background paper every time before painting?
@@user-zq2jc7oe2x no, it depends how you want the paint to blend. I find for the light washes it’s helpful to have a wet page to allow different tones to mix together. I’m working through a hot rod video and I found a dry page was helpful for some of the car’s body work.
It's great to see the process for a "rainy day" sketch! You captured it well! Thanks so much.
Thank you!
Very enjoyable and instructive. I love painting outside too
@@suzannemarshall7458 Thank you! I’m trying to get outside as much as I can this summer
