Castles #5: Composition & Simplification

Masterclass #5 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: composition and simplification. A brick castle gate with a bridge over the canal is full of detail. We decide what to keep and what to leave out, and build a clear, lively composition with reflections in the water.

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.
