Thank you for this, Toby. I’ll give this one a go later on. I love your style, it is so loose and free…way less intimidating than other more “perfectionist” tutorials. I have loads of photos from my holidays to try sketching, and will def follow these suggestions.
hi Toby, new subscriber here, glad I came across your channel, love your style of painting. it’s good to see that your techniques can also be used for landscape work. Keep going and I hope your channel goes from strength to strength.
Thank you Toby for what you give us. Please do more landscapes, as it is my absolutely favorite thing to sketch. Again thank you, thank you, thank you!
Just what I wanted. Love your style just recently found you. I have subscribed. You have given me the confidence I needed to come out of my shell, and not be afraid of giving it a go.
Nice to see you working with a landscape, the scenery around me is more suburban than urban. Interesting houses, sheds, landscaping, narrow roads, mailboxes and parks. Would love to see some of those things. Thanks for your easy commentary! Very enjoyable.
Saya penggemar mu dari Indonesia guru. 🙏 Selalu membuat reverensi yang sangat menarik .. karena saya masih belum punya watercolor jadi saya pakai digital art 👍👍👍🙏..
Haha, so keep up Martin 😂 I have a new 'product' coming out.... It's actually going to be free, but I wondered if you would be happy to test it? I'm asking a couple of people who I can trust to give honest feedback 🙂👍 It's ten days of sketching. Email me toby.h.email@gmail.com if you are interested, but no pressure
Thank you for demonstrating this lanscape sketch. I love to sketch landscapes but have wanted to loosen up and do quicker, more spontaneous ones. This demo is really going to help me with that. Please show us more landscape demos!
Thank you so much for doing this! Your tutorials make it a lot less scary for me to try drawing new things and I appreciate it so much! Def would love to see more landscape type things like this. :)
Hi Toby - I find your loose style very inspiring. Just need to be daring enough to try this out. Always wanted to try watercolour landscapes and this is a fab way to start. Buildings have been more daunting but I’m determined to make time this year to follow your simple steps method. Thank you for sharing your ideas it gives less confident aspiring artists a nudge to give it a go.
I used to do a lot of plein air painting. I love your sky’s. But I don’t have much luck come back into them after they dry. My landscapes I like to drop in a lot of colors then when it drys I enhance it with the ink line work.I’m 83 still learning 😊
I love watching you create with your loose style! I tend to be quite heavy-handed in my style and have been trying to loosen it up. Finding and following you is really helping me! Thank you so much! 💖🖌🖋
Six months ago I felt that landscapes could be my thing and I followed Oliver Pyle who is a fabulous classical watercolour artist but and it a big but it does need a lot of time and patience. Your landscapes are fun holiday sketches we feel we can all have a go at and get a result. I still find with my skies when I try and go back in and add extra tone and shadow I get horrible backwashes and cauliflowers due the different water mixes. Hopefully your upcoming course will cover this.
Hi Mike! Oliver Pyle is indeed fantastic! My course might help with that, a lot of the focus is on creating watercolour effects (like cauliflowers and blooms) and quickly making watercolours interesting. So in a sense, it's more about making cauliflowers than preventing them! Along with a bit of colour theory, varied washes and the like. Essentially everything I do in my videos normally, but in much more detail. I don't want you to get a false idea about my course.
I’m really enjoying your videos. And I love your style of sketches and water colour. I’m very new to this but I’m learning albeit slowly. I’d love to see you sketch a typical country church sometime. Thank you and I’ve subscribed.
Loving the landscape sketching too thank you. BTW this is indeed the stunning golden sands of Kaiteriteri beach (needed to zoom in to check) which is in Nelson New Zealand near where we live. It’s part of the Abel Tasman National Park
Wow, love your loose style and calm demonstration; it eassures the rest of us beginners! Do you have some of these demos on location as well (i.e. not from photo/in studio)? Suggestion, if/ when you redo this kind of demo, could you please move the reference photo to the left (away from the water and pans)? That way we get to see what is going on there / technique-wise. Thanks again!!
Hi Tobi, Your new ring reminds me of last Saturday here in my country (Canada) where I took photographs of a wedding and the groom was playing with his new addition as well 😂. Anyway all the best 🙋♀
Thanks for this. I love your wobbly line loose style. By the way, did you just get married? Noticed the ring and wondered! If so, my congratulations to you both!🎉
Haha good spot - not married, but engaged. I didn't think it was fair that she got a ring and I didn't, so I bought myself a little ring too - it's egraved with the co-ordinates where we got engaged :)
Thanks for breaking it down into a simpler way. I didn't get this box but I have all of the supplies alrwady. Just different paints. By the way, I go through St. Neots on my way from London to Huntingdon. It's good to see something other than the train station.
Very nice work, and a great tutorial. In step 3 are you wetting the painting before adding the bolder colours? Yours spread beautifully, but mine look more static ...
I'm new to this, trying out some Japanese watercolours. I'm o holiday so landscapes are my main interest. I love the looseness you do. Mine are flat! Too literal I guess. I think I'd want more blue sky...
Stunning and love that its a scene from down here in beautiful New Zealand. Loved this as most of our environment is rural and I enjoy your techniques so now know how to adapt it to a country view Enjoying your course also Thak you Trish
I love line and wash! I think that I have found my "Artist". I will take your class and see what you have on skillshare. Thanks, I've found my style, too. e`lan
I absolutely have loved this style for a few years but didnt know exactly what it was or how it was done. I started looking into it and have just found all your brilliant videos and decided that I would give it a go. I've bought alll the stuff and am ready so fingers crossed and all that. One thing is as a beginner I am finding that I am wanting to see how you mix and the colour and consistency of the paint on your pallet but its usually covered by the reference photo being on the right of the video. Not sure of an answer but I still find myself craning my kneck trying to look around it lol 🤣
Please can you do these techniques to still life or objects I’ve loved the landscape - I would like to know how to do depth with ink alone in a landscape how would shading or texture or depth work without the colour????
I do these same techniques on still life yes! I probably don't have a specific video on that. Depth with ink alone I can certainly make time for in a video :)
superb video / explanation to follow along that's not too difficult for a beginner like me - and they are all nice and short in length - thanks a million ;)
I live in the mountains with many lakes, so this is a really nice change up from urban scenes. Such a wonderful sketch and each video I learn something new, thank you! 👍🏼 your sweater matches your painting as well, great choice ! 😂😂
I’m enjoying your *excellent* workshop, Line Work and Mark Making. This video is a great addition to your repertory-I love doing landscapes and found this approach very helpful. Thanks!
I am beginning to understand the concept of loose sketching and it has helped loosen up my drawing, especially of landscapes. I am by the ocean sketching my scenes from my deck and I can’t wait to apply the water colors to see what it does! Thank you. I’ve followed your 10 days of sketching which was very helpful. Namaste…Sharon
Toby - Amazing work, and thanks for helping the rest of us create. More landscapes, please!
Thank you for this, Toby. I’ll give this one a go later on. I love your style, it is so loose and free…way less intimidating than other more “perfectionist” tutorials. I have loads of photos from my holidays to try sketching, and will def follow these suggestions.
Enjoy 😍
Love love love this. Can’t wait to use what I’ve been practicing on some landscapes on my upcoming vacation ❤
Another masterpiece from "The King of Loose Sketching".....Thanks Toby. Love the landscape.
Haha thanks!!
This is great Toby, I failed miserably trying to be so precise when trying to be precise. Your style is really liberating. Thank you.
Pleasure!
hi Toby, new subscriber here, glad I came across your channel, love your style of painting. it’s good to see that your techniques can also be used for landscape work. Keep going and I hope your channel goes from strength to strength.
Thankyou ☺️
Thank you Toby for what you give us.
Please do more landscapes, as it is my absolutely favorite thing to sketch.
Again thank you, thank you, thank you!
More to come!
Thanks,,,,that can really help my holiday scribbles,,,,,,,,,,and quick enough that my wife ,doesnt get bored , or Spend Too Much ...Many thanks
My pleasure
Great idea (landscapes). I would love to see more. I wasn't a fan of the sky in this one though....
Fair enough 🙂 I also appreciate the honesty 👍👍
disfrutado y aprendido mucho con este video Gracias
Fantastic moving your techniques to landscape. I’d love to see how you treat simple still life’s, too.❤
A great idea!!
Just what I wanted. Love your style just recently found you. I have subscribed. You have given me the confidence I needed to come out of my shell, and not be afraid of giving it a go.
This is lovely to hear, exactly what I hope to achieve is given people confidence
Nice to see you working with a landscape, the scenery around me is more suburban than urban. Interesting houses, sheds, landscaping, narrow roads, mailboxes and parks.
Would love to see some of those things.
Thanks for your easy commentary! Very enjoyable.
Lovely idea! It's similar to around me, perhaps I'll film something outside.....
Saya penggemar mu dari Indonesia guru. 🙏
Selalu membuat reverensi yang sangat menarik .. karena saya masih belum punya watercolor jadi saya pakai digital art 👍👍👍🙏..
So glad you have this example here.. I'm going to teach some newbies at a lake.
great video Toby, would love to see more landscapes from you! not so sure what's going on with Cascade green though, is that similar to hookers green?
It's got a similar feel I believe, I've only ever used a student grade hooker's green. It does though into blue hues as well, has more texture
Yes more landscapes and rural scenes (barns, outbuildings, etc...)
On the way!
I like your loose style very much. The only thing that is distracting and makes me nervous is your constant hand motions. 8:17
Thanks for the feedback :)
I'm a newish subscriber, and especially in this video (yay for landscape!) I'm really appreciating your linework. 😁
My pleasure, thanks for subbing
Love your videos and your method. I noticed so Chinese bulrushes in your brush jar. What do you use them for?
The same style, just a different feel
Just as well you've changed your YT name Toby - definitely NOT urban sketching - love it! My list of projects to copy is getting longer and longer 👍
Haha, so keep up Martin 😂 I have a new 'product' coming out.... It's actually going to be free, but I wondered if you would be happy to test it? I'm asking a couple of people who I can trust to give honest feedback 🙂👍 It's ten days of sketching. Email me toby.h.email@gmail.com if you are interested, but no pressure
Toby, you are a legend! Painting and sketching fun. When are you going to g to run a course in the Uk? Please 🙌
8-9th June! In Bath, not yet announced but will be soon. Colin and I have plans 💪💪💪
@@TobySketchLoose ooh! That sounds well worth a visit to the Uk in June. Thank you for the heads up 🎨🖼️

Love your loose technique; as a fearful perfectionist it helps me to ‘give it a go’! I also love your being in MZ. I’m up here in Tauranga.
Most helpful! Very creative! I think I can do this!
Ufkum genişledi teşekkürler
Awesome 😎👍
I love watching you create with your loose style! I tend to be quite heavy-handed in my style and have been trying to loosen it up. Finding and following you is really helping me! Thank you so much! 💖🖌🖋
Thanks! I’ve really been enjoying ur videos the past few months. Inspiring & helpful! From Colorado USA
Thankyou, I really appreciate this 🙏
Thank you! This style is what I aspire to for my nature sketchbook. I'd love see even more!
Love it, was hoping you would do some landscape too

Amazing. Thank you for this video. Your style and techniques are inspirational.
Thank you so much!
I thoroughly enjoyed this sketch! Your teaching style was incredibly helpful! Thanks so much!

Hi Toby,what size fountain pen nibble would you recommand for beginners sketching
Fine 😊
Thanks for this. I love your wobbly line loose style. By the way, did you just get married? Noticed the ring and wondered! If so, my congratulations to you both!🎉

Glad it was helpful! You can also see or power plant from the train 🚆 😜
Very nice work, and a great tutorial. In step 3 are you wetting the painting before adding the bolder colours? Yours spread beautifully, but mine look more static ...
Probably a little bit, or not fully letting it dry
Have watched a few of your videos for tips on how to start sketching and so stoked to see a picture taken from my old hangout spot in nz! How good 😍
That is awesome! Small world 😁🌍
I'm new to this, trying out some Japanese watercolours. I'm o holiday so landscapes are my main interest. I love the looseness you do. Mine are flat! Too literal I guess. I think I'd want more blue sky...
Have fun!
😊 I just wanted to say how happy I am to have found your brilliant channel. 😊 Thank you!
Welcome!
Love this. I have just found you today: i have sibscribed and will start the 10 day urban course in the next few days. Thank you so much for this.
Welcome aboard!
Stunning and love that its a scene from down here in beautiful New Zealand. Loved this as most of our environment is rural and I enjoy your techniques so now know how to adapt it to a country view
Enjoying your course also
Thak you Trish
Thanks Trish
I love line and wash! I think that I have found my "Artist". I will take your class and see what you have on skillshare. Thanks, I've found my style, too.

Wonderful!
I absolutely have loved this style for a few years but didnt know exactly what it was or how it was done. I started looking into it and have just found all your brilliant videos and decided that I would give it a go. I've bought alll the stuff and am ready so fingers crossed and all that. One thing is as a beginner I am finding that I am wanting to see how you mix and the colour and consistency of the paint on your pallet but its usually covered by the reference photo being on the right of the video. Not sure of an answer but I still find myself craning my kneck trying to look around it lol 🤣
Thanks, I'll try to keep it uncovered where possible. This is useful feedback 🙂🙂
How important is it to be accurate about landmarks, especially if you’re journaling?
For me, it's not super important - but that's a very personal question. Not as in embarrassing, just that different people will have different views!
Just had a go at this landscape. I’ve always wanted to draw with pen and watercolour. Didn’t come out that bad. Thanks so much ❤
Great to hear!
Please can you do these techniques to still life or objects I’ve loved the landscape - I would like to know how to do depth with ink alone in a landscape how would shading or texture or depth work without the colour????

Não entendo o que ele fala mas aprendi muito observando a técnica. Obrigado ☺️🙏🇧🇷
Thank you for watching ☺️
wonderful demo! Why do you finish your sketch with small botches?
Because I like it :)
Thank you for this landscape video! I would love more of these!
You got it!
This is so helpful. I tend to over color so watching you paint reminds me that less is more. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
I love that u showed us a landscape! Ty! I have been doing some sketch ing like this amd this is a huge help to me! ❤
Great to hear!
Omg I wish I was talented ☹️
Really enjoyed this lazy Sunday exercise. TY. Keep ‘em coming.
This was so inspiring. Really like this more loose style! Gwen
Glad you enjoyed
Can you tell me what technique you used to do the picture on the back on the door behind you.
Palette knife painting 🎨
Very nice Toby! A few more of these landscapes couldn't hurt...
Thank you very much for this, it was great fun and I learned a lot!
Yes! Check urbansketch.co.uk/supplies :)
I have just found your channel. Thank you for sharing your style of sketching. I really enjoyed watching.
Great and would love to see more
Thank you so much for the knowledge you generously offer!
So nice of you
Thank you for your demo. What palette do you have as I am new to water-colour.
Check my supplies link in the description
Definitely going to try this with some inspiration photos I took while staying on the coast of Angelsea
please do :)
Subscribed… you are just an amazing artist!
And you are very kind
More landscapes please:) Really enjoyed this one.
More to come!
More of the same, please
Really really like this one. Loose but in control.😂🎉

@@TobySketchLoose thank you
This was so inspiring to do and I think i succeeded , thanks!!
Awesome!!!
Love all your sketches, both urban and landscape.
Really enjoyed this. We are off to the Lakes shortly so will be very useful to practice.
This is great! Thanks for taking your time to do the video. New subscriber here ☺️
I would like to see some old rustic barns Toby.
A great idea!
Super! Thank you! This makes landscape less daunting 😊
Thanks for showing us a landscape example. I like the simplicity of how you teach us.
I live in the mountains with many lakes, so this is a really nice change up from urban scenes. Such a wonderful sketch and each video I learn something new, thank you! 👍🏼 your sweater matches your painting as well, great choice ! 😂😂
haha brilliant :)
Loving this technique just adding this to my painting art
The bright colors at the end certainly give the painting more interest.
👍🏻
Yes, I like the landscape. I do that a little more often than buildings.
Thanks, inspiring
Great fun Toby
