Urban Sketching

On-location drawing of buildings, streets, and everyday scenes in ink and watercolour wash — done from direct observation rather than photos. The discipline is speed and subtraction: capturing a convincing sense of place with economical contour lines, rough two-point perspective, and deliberately editing out ninety percent of the detail before the light or the subject moves on.

Urban Sketching

Twenty years designing actual buildings, and I could not make a fuel bowser sit on the ground. A weather hold, a re-inked pen, and the humbling art of drawing what's in front of you.
