Castles #1: Proportions & Watercolour Basics

Masterclass #1 of the Sketching European Castles & Fortresses series with Yury Dzhantuganov.

The sketch on the cover is exactly the one we will draw together during this masterclass.

Focus: proportions and first watercolour techniques. We learn to catch the main masses of a castle quickly and place them on the page, then get to know the basic watercolour techniques: a graded sky, washes on dry and wet paper, and a loose green foreground.

Every evening we work in pencil, ink and watercolour: the teacher demonstrates each stage, you draw it, and we move on together, with personal guidance throughout. You leave with a finished A4 sketch.

Suitable for complete beginners. Each masterclass is self-contained: join one evening or combine several.
