I was drawing along during the presentation on the back of an envelope and I took the perspective in exactly the opposite direction -- flaring out at the bottom and narrowing toward the top to exaggerate the height and narrowness of the building. In another video or guide about urban sketching, the artist talked about how the greatest challenge in this particular kind of drawing is letting go of perfectionism, to not worry if every line properly aligns with the perspectives of the object since the idea is to convey one's impression of the object and to allow for an individualist, looser and freer interpretation that makes the piece unique.
Just watching the repay Feb 25, 2022. I just want to say, "WOW!" I just had a "lightbulb" go on! The most frustrating thing for me as an amateur artist, is trying to find peace and joy in my work. I tend to find my self tense and worried about whether things are in proper proportion. What an epiphany! I can create my own ideas of perspective and still create a work of art that makes me happy and proud. Instead of considering my variations as mistakes, I am now, because of this video, ready to explore allowing myself the freedom to just think of it as uniquely ME! thank you so much, Jeff>>>
Second time I"ve watched this wonderful tutorial. So charming. I love your respectful whimsical treatment of these lovely buildings. Thanks for bringing us along on your sketching adventures.
Loved this video and this style, thank you Jeff Carter. I just wanted to drop in a quick warning that Daniel Smith's Moonglow is not lightfast as stated by the company, just in case anyone is thinking of hanging up their paintings using it. It contains a pigment - PR177 - that is only lightfast in dense quantity (as in oils or acrylics) but becomes fugitive when water is added. See Kimberly Crick's tests and videos for more detailed information. Hope that helps avoid any heartache for beginners. Happy painting!
Just found you on a dull day in Worcestershire, when I was miserable and had nothing to do. Amazing, I absolutely love your urban sketches and thoroughly enjoyed watching you.
Just caught the replay and signed up for Jeff's mini workshop. I love the idea of urban sketching and want to get out there and sketch and paint but I let the overwhelm of capturing everything to be paralyzing to my efforts I love Jeff's approach and appreciate his willingness to share with other hobby artists like me!
We completely agree, Wendy! ❤️ You might also want to check out his in-depth Mini Workshop recording here: etchrstudio.com/products/jeff-carter-miniworkshop-recording
I love this style! It brings a sense of delight, something all too rare lately. I love the bandsaw boxes that are like tilted dressers as well, what a great way to see the world :)
Oh Jeff - “I’m up to my neck,”. I’m trying to tackle kindergarten perspective and you have thrown me a curve. This is adorable and I love the quirkiness of this process. Thank you for the tutorial. It’s terrific. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I absolutely love that this lesson was in my feed and I'm so inspired to try this method, thank you Jeff and Etchr Lab, . I was also thrilled to see the Nutshell.. I've lived in around Bury St Edmunds for most of my life so I know it well, even had a couple of bevvies there myself :)
This was so much fun-love the way you approach the building, and change the perspective. Makes Urban Sketching a lot more interesting! Thank you Jeff and Etchr Lab. Looking forward to the mini-workshop!
Just finished watching...loved it. You are a natural and of coarse love your own take on things. Signed up for mini workshop...7am is a bit early for BC so will be watching later
Thank you so much for this wonderful workshop. I am new to watercolors, ( but quite old) and I have always been drawn to buildings or some aspect of a dwelling. I am looking forward to having a try at your unique and fanciful style. I really appreciate the inspiration.
Very interesting take on perspective 😀I like the way you have turned a weakness into a strength 😀😀 very encouraging for people like me who are perspective challenged 😂😂
I enjoyed watching the live, uncut process and will try this technique soon. I would subscribe to this channel and check out more of etchr's content but just wish the woman's voice was more pleasant to listen to.
The workshop was wonderful. I could not attend the day of but the video is amazing. Did you say there is a private Facebook page I can join? I look forward to more workshops.
@@EtchrLab Thank you for your reply. I realized what the name of the pub was when I watched the entire video, which I should have done to begin with...
it would be bursting with 102 people I went to a house party where the floor dropped from the skirtinbord about a foot it was qwite weard to say the least maybe you shuld draw what that would look like lol

Thank you for watching, Rebecca! 😊
This is brilliant.I can’t do buildings but looking at it from this point of view changes the line problem and turns boring into fun and interesting 🥰
Totally agree! Thank you for watching, Christine!
What a freeing experience...loved the way Jeff got us to explore and play with perspective....I sadly missed the mini workshop 😭
Don't worry, Monika! You may purchase Jeff's Workshop and Class Recording on our website: etchrstudio.com/

Good work, bro !!
Thank you for tuning in! 😊
Great presentation. Would love to be in the workshop, but I have a conflict on that day.
Don't worry, you may purchase the workshop to get a recording 3-5 days after the live session. 😉
This was so much fun. Sketched with you but need time to paint, too fast for me. Thanks
Don't worry, we'll be hosting a Mini Workshop that lasts 90 minutes so you'll have more time to sketch! Come join us!
Mind blown
Yes! Amazing!! ❤️
Wonderful creative work :)
Thank you for watching, Bianca! 🦙
Painted the Nutshell many times and tried a few Abbot ales in there too.
Cool! Tag us if you decide to post it! 😉
@@EtchrLab I'm afraid I've sold all of them!
@@EtchrLab I just unearthed a watercolour of the Nutshell I painted!
Love them…
We're glad you loved it! 🥳
I missed this workshop sadly.. will mr carter be offering another one soon ?
Hi Christine! He will be having Classes soon. Check them out here: etchrstudio.com/search?type=product&q=jeff+carter
The workshop was wonderful. I could not attend the day of but the video is amazing. Did you say there is a private Facebook page I can join? I look forward to more workshops.
That's right, Karen! The Facebook group is right here: facebook.com/groups/322395185517685
I loved this so much I bought the workshop! Oh... and where’s the right reference for this building?
Thanks for pointing that out! We've placed the correct reference photo. 😉
@@EtchrLab thank you!!!!
under the link for the preference is another picture
I draw directly with ink. I never use pencil.it is what it is and never change a line. I just want to have fun.
It's very important to have fun! 🧡
Any links for Jeff Carter to see his art?
Hey there! You may follow him on Instagram: @jeffswatercolour 😊
Ah, was hoping I wouldn't have to open an instagram account.😉
For the workshop, where does the money go? What is the payment used for?
Hi Jr, the money supports our talented artists, our Team, and our company so that we can produce more art lessons for you! 😉
@@EtchrLab ty for your speady response.
Is the reference photo link the right one for this demonstration? I keep getting another photo.
It’s the wrong one. It’s the workshop reference, I think. I just bought the workshop and receive this reference.
Hi there! Apologies for that. We've updated the reference photo! 😊
I’ve been looking for some of Jeff’s videos and see he hasn’t posted in 2 years, does anyone know if he’s okay? Is he still sketching?
YESSS
Woohoo! 🥳
Having so much fun following this video, but I can't tell what the printing on the pub says. Can you please clarify? Thanx.
Hi Linda, it says "The Nutshell". Hope this helps!
@@EtchrLab Thank you for your reply. I realized what the name of the pub was when I watched the entire video, which I should have done to begin with...
😍 😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you for watching, Cat!

Nice, yo!
Thank you so much!
Where is the reference for the work he did here? The reference photo I get is the one for the paid workshop
Hi Lílian! That's correct, it's for the Mini Workshop. It's updated now. 😊
Jeff needs erasers that don't leave residue afterwards......kneadable erasers are perfect for this. Nothing to brush off the paper at all
Does he have a website. I’m not on Instagram.
it would be bursting with 102 people I went to a house party where the floor dropped from the skirtinbord about a foot it was qwite weard to say the least maybe you shuld draw what that would look like lol
Wow, what a story! Definitely would want to see how that would look like.
I usually prefer to work much faster. Maybe you took your time because you were doing a demo? Or you prefer to take your time?
What is Jeff's Instagram handle? I can't seem to find it
