Synopsis

Focused on a loose, rhythmic approach, this visually led book shows how to sketch on location and develop lively urban studies with watercolour and ink. Whitehead covers what you need to begin, how to choose a scene outdoors, and ways to work quickly by simplifying forms and prioritising rhythm over perfection.

Alongside inspirational paintings, plein air demonstrations and practical exercises, it explores composition and perspective, continuous line drawing, and using watercolour to add drama, depth and energy. Guidance is also included for working from reference photographs when you cannot get outside, making it suitable for both beginners and more experienced urban sketchers looking to loosen up their style.
