- Coloring can be overwhelming! Especially when you have dozens and dozens of colors to choose from. In this video I show you that even with a very limited palette, and some knowledge of light and dark, you can color your work very effectively and conjure up a mood.
If you want to follow along, head on over to Gumroad. There you can download the colored example, the annotated image and the line art for a small fee...

Excellent, excellent. I used to watch a RUclips watercolor artist years ago make the most beautiful paintings using only 2 colors...Payne's Gray and Burnt Sienna. The objective of her work was mastering TONAL values and not focusing so much on color which can apply to any medium. Your Domestika course was excellent and I enjoyed it very much.
That's really great to hear!! I'll be doing more of these in the upcoming weeks and months!
Hi Albert, Panting with a limited palette is always a challenge! The explanation going layer by layer on how and were, in the drawing, to use the colors makes it easier to understand how to define, in a line drawing, light and shadow (especially when doing it from a photo that is not well lit). This is a very helpful explanation! Thank you so much for this video! 😁
You're welcome!! In this case the light in the original photograph is totally different. But this shows you how to really hold the sketch to your own personal preference!
Amazing I can’t believe how much the blue added depth
Thank you for this
You're welcome! I painted this with five colors for some mood. To give a sketch depth, you would even be able to do that successfully with one! I'm going to show that too!
Another excellent video ! Thank you Albert ! In this video, your « brushing » coloring technique is even better explained ! Great stuff ! 😊
Thank you very much Martin!! 🙏🏻🍀
Thank you so much! Your explanation and commentary are so helpful, I learned a lot from this video. Also I love your style, it always inspires me greatly.
Yeah, that was real awesome. I took your class on Domestika. I still need to practice and these sketches still help quite a lot. Thank you very much.
Great!! I'll be posting new ones regularly!
Always happy to watch your process. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome! 🍀
That’s a training session that’s meets my perfection expectatio 10:38 ! Since your fantastically well done Domestika presentation I have been wondering how to use a basic color scheme. And you have ANSWER my question. One more color exercise would be appreciated in any platform you prefer. Many thanks from one of your followers.
You are most welcome Pierre! I will be doing a series of these!
this a great video for beginners who struggle with colors! Thanks
I am glad you like it! Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video - it is a very timely arrival for me! I recently completed your doméstica course, which greatly improved the “looseness” of my sketches and introduced me to the use of marker colors. I have recently ruined a few good sketches by allowing them to become “muddy” and over-done. I’ll be sure to try the download and practice the techniques shared here!
Super!! It might be a good idea, if you have access, to scan your line art and print that out (laser) and do color studies there. But that's also why I make these ones available as training material!
Another great video and lesson, thank you!
Thanks Jeff! Glad you like these!
Lots more like this please, I've spoilt a few of my sketches by over colouring
I will! These are very nice projects to create and share!
Excellent video - thank you - I learnt so much from it.
Thanks a lot!! That makes creating these video's very rewarding for me! 🙏🏻
very inspiring and help on the comprehension on how to use the markers(especially I tend to color all the area :-) ) ! thank you
Great to hear Veronique! Always try and look for these 'shards' of light or gaps in the strokes. They can really help seeing a sketch alive!
Thank you for this video, this is very helpful! I learned a lot from your Domestika class (and enjoyed it so much!) and this is just a perfect reminder about colouring tips! Now I just need to practice more often 🤦♀️😆
I hope these videos will help with that!!🌺
Wonderful classs!😍🤩🤗❤
Loved it. Thanks many
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for sharing😊
You're welcome Elena!
nice video housesketcher - I´m doing a course of yours on domestika and enjoying learning from you, thanks!
Cool! Thanks🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
New subscriber, I love your art!!, great video. I'm going to purchase these 5 colours and give this a go:)
That's great!! Thanks for giving this a try🙏🏻✨
Great content, thanks for sharing!
Great video Sensei A! I think this is exactly what I need to do to improve the enjoyment of my sketches, pick out a small palette with the end game in mind then add more colour after if need be. It will help with speed and looseness. Also, this video is great because it illustrates how you tackle those angled lines in the beginning, they feel a lot more risky later in the sketch. All the best, J
Super, Jason!! Your work is looking awesome! That latest on IG, amazing!
@@housesketcher Thank you Albert, I had a good teacher :) It makes a world of difference to the final picture if you love the building. It makes you want to sketch it. Really enjoyed making that one.
Love it! Very informational~ Funny how much he uses "like," tho. 😂
I didn't realise 😊
More like this!❤
I will!🍀
You're so good, you deserve more views. I just subscribed
Thank you! 🙏🏻🍀✨
Very useful, thx :)
Very helpful video, thank you. Hopefully I'll be able to buy the pack you have on gumroad
Thank you✨🌹🍀🙏🏻
This sketch came to life before my eyes! I appreciate you keeping it simple with 5 colors. You mentioned downloading the sketch so we can practice colors. Where do I find it? I have such a problem with perspective, I wish there was a way to trace my photos of houses and go from there. There must be a way!
I will try and make a short clip on perspective! Here's the link to the line art and color chart for this specific sketch:
housesketcher.gumroad.com/l/coloring_set_007
It's a €2 download that you can print out for coloring.
That’s great- I appreciate you! Thanks! ⭐️
Does it matter what marker you use? Can you use Tombows? thank you
Excellent video, thank you, Albert. Could you maybe zoom right in on the picture next time, please?
Hey Stephen you can reverse pinch to zoom in the youtube app on mobile devices. Or you can enable a zoom button in youtube on your desktop. I used this to zoom in on the drawing. Made it a lot clearer for me 😊
I'll do a closer crop next time!
Is this a set of colours? or individual colours?
I downloaded a sketch of yours and it had SO MANY colours in it Too many for me as beginner I did your course but need to keep colours simple
These colors are available from stores separately. I kept the colors for this sketch to an acceptable five. You might want to look at alternatives like the OHUHU brand. The things to look for are a light, medium and darker shade (like the grey-greens in this clip) and one or two 'contrasting' colors like my warm earth color and the cool, desaturated blue...
First of all, you are very talented, and your artworks are beautiful!
Second, unfortunately the art you are making is just about 1/6th of the entire video, so it is hard to see what you are doing. Not everybody has a large screen, so zooming in a bit would help.
Furthermore, I completely understand, some people do these weird motions with their hands when they are planning out where to draw the actual lines, but it is also very, very distracting. Especially when not zoomed in.
I'm trying to follow along, and see what you are doing, but it is hard because not only is the artwork a very tiny piece on my screen, but you are also doing the extra movements that don't actually produce a line and it is just very hard to follow along and see what you are doing.
Unless of course it is planned that way, and entirely intentional. Then disregard all I've said and carry on! Nobody has to share their secrets on RUclips for free.
Thanks flirt your comments! I have addressed the size issue in later videos. This one was not about sketching but about the coloring process. Have a look at my latest video where both sketching and coloring is covered. It's sped up because a forty minute video is a bit slow 😊
