Excerpt 1:
The book of Felix Scheinberger – Urban Watercolour Sketching – challenges the reader with 154 pages of unique sketching ideas. To learn new art techniques and explore new ideas for sketching, one has to immerse oneself in the artist’s work. In this instance, I have used the sketches of Mr Scheinberger (art tutor – Berlin Germany) to inspire my own loose watercolour illustrations. This article contains a couple of drawings relating to Scheinberger’s book, namely pages 34, 35, 69, & 85.
In this blog post, I share my first attempts to explore the techniques of Scheinberger. See the sketches and accompanying captions.
Practice, practice, practice is the best way to master new techniques. The more you practice the new ideas and concepts, the more likely they will become part of your repertoire.
