This is the second workshop in the spring French Village Sketchbook series. These 2 tutorials will guide you step-by-step to sketch some poppies by the roadside and the gateway to an ancient chapel.

Even if you have never sketched before, we will work together on drawing one shape at a time.  You'll also learn simple techniques and shortcuts with watercolour and watercolour pencils to create interesting and attractive effects.

You can ask for feedback and support at each stage of the workshop, and you can also find support and inspiration in the private group on Facebook. 

How long is the workshop?

Each video is between 2-10 minutes - a couple are a little longer.  Some are split into Chapters so that you can pause and restart them right where you left off.  You can take each and every module at your own pace and you'll have unlimited access to them. 

What do I need?

Previous sketching experience is not essential but you will need 

• a sketchbook with smooth paper 150gsm+ suitable for watercolour 
• a pencil
• black waterproof fineliner pens
• a basic set of watercolour paints
• some watercolour pencils 
• a small round watercolour brush/waterbrush
• tissue/rag
• jar of clean water
• white gel pen / gouache paint 

I also use a spare piece of scrap paper and a small spray water bottle.

This is an online version of a full day workshop so will cover plenty of sketching tips and techniques.
