      And number 3, 4 and 5 are in Turkey too, as Antalya (Nr. 6) is. It is a little bit irritating for me that from far away Florida these so extremely different countries of Europe can become so blurred. But I can talk, I live in Germany, which has so many neighboring countries with so many languages (even Lëtzebuergesch, the language only spoken in Luxembourg) an I also work in the intercultural field, so it's so present to me... but I've never been to the USA.

      @@lins.buchwelt In the end, it _does_ matter - especially to the people who live in these places! I know of a lot of people who live in Great Britain and Northern Ireland who get *extremely* frustrated about being referred to as "English, or "Oh, so you're from England", or for hearing Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland being referred to as 'England.' (especially by American and French tourists - probably the most 'guilty' ones.)
      I also know people who aren't happy about being told, "Isn't Belgium part of France?" or "Isn't Luxembourg part of Germany", and so on.
      So *yes* it does matter that we get these things right! It just shows ignorance not to do so - especially for people from other parts of Great Britain and Northern Ireland!

    I notice that you used pilot pens a lot in those particular sketches. I always preferred pilot pens over the usual drawing pens that most artists who do pen and ink use. You are the first artist I noticed who uses them as well. Whenever I mention that to other artists, it always comes as a surprise for them; it seems few use pilot or uniball for sketching.

    I immediately recognized your first pick. I go there quite regularly, as my brother lives in Luxembourg. And I’ve even eaten at the restaurant (brasserie Lorraine) with the red awning! The orange building in your drawing. Don’t remember what I had, but it was tasty.
    So I did pull a face muscle when you said the city Luxembourg in Germany, but you’ve already been corrected, so I’ll let it slide. 😂
    I’ve done this myself, even from a street in my own village. We have very cute farmhouses here (the south of the Netherlands, Limburg), but I didn’t feel comfortable setting myself up across to look at someone’s house for too long. 😅

    Urban Sketching is drawing on location, not from photos. It’s not even a good way to practice as drawing from direct observation on the street is different. However it IS a fun way to travel and sketch virtually. Gage Academy in Seattle hosts a monthly Zoom session using Street View that’s free and open to anyone on 1st Thursday mornings.
    I’ve enjoyed so many videos on this channel. This was fun, too.

    • @artofjesskarp
      @artofjesskarp  Год назад

      Yes!! I agree. I know it is drawing on location, I have some videos drawing directly on location and love it! but many viewers are beginners and are a bit nervous to sketch in public at first so I think this is a nice way to dip your toes in the water. And just get excited about a location and give it a try to learn foundations like perspective etc. thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback!

    @jesskarp you mentioned filling waterproof ink into the fountain pen. How do you prevent it from clogging it while you're not touching it for a while? Are you cleaning it before putting it away? Or you're using it so often that it's not an issue for you?

    As a photographer I end up using Google Maps to find areas sometimes. I like this idea very well for drawing. I am surprised I haven't thought of that yet.
