For my work as an architect I draw and sketch a lot, especially geomatric floor plans and realistic facades. But how fun is it to draw beautiful houses and buildings where not everything is perfectly in proportion. Sketches that do not have to correspond exactly with reality and where a crooked line is beautiful. I call those drawings ‘houseportraits’. And in my online course I’m going to teach you how to
“Drawing houseportraits is not difficult at all. I think at it as Urban Sketching light! Can you draw a rectangle and a circle? Then you can also draw a houseportrait!”
Draw along with me! During our travels we visit the most beautiful places. How nice is it to be able to capture those memories on paper or in your sketchbook. In this course I will teach you how to. Each houseportrait has approximately 1 hour of video material. You can draw with me, because the videos are pre-recorded you can pause whenever you want if it goes too fast. You can watch the videos at your leisure and at your own pace. If you like to draw digitally in ProCreate on your iPad, these lessons are also ideal. We are going to have fun drawing!
Who is the course for?
The houseportraits Let’s travel! courses stand on its own. You do not need to have attended any of my previous courses. And if you’re not sure whether it’s for you, watch the free video ‘I can’t draw!’. The course is for both the beginner and the advanced artist. The beginner may want to rewatch a part of the videos now and then or recreate a sketch. And the advanced can draw with me and will probably benefit from all the tips I give while drawing.
You will guaranteed to be addicted to drawing ‘houseportraits’ after this course. It certainly doesn’t stop at these three travel destinations! Are you curious about the work of other enthusiastic participants, check the hashtag #houseportraits_ck on Instagram.
In the course you will draw three different houseportraits with me.
Each houseportrait has 3 video lessons:
• Sketch with your pencil
• Draw with your pen
• Color!
BASIC MATERIALS
Every ‘Sketch with your pencil‘ and ‘Draw with your pen‘ video lesson I work with the same materials.
• a HB (mechanical) pencil from Tombow
• an eraser from Faber-Castell
• a waterproof black brush pen WS-BS from Tombow
• a waterproof fineliner 0.1 from Edding
• a sheet of white watercolor paper A6 size 350grs
• a sheet of white watercolor paper A5 size 200grs + 350grs
Make sure you have the basic materials (or similar) ready in advance. Once you’ve started, you’ll want to continue drawing!
COLOR!
With every three ‘Color!‘ video lessons I have used completely different materials. I did this to show you which types of materials and the associated techniques you can work with. It is to inspire you. You don’t have to buy all these materials, that’s not my goal..
Use the materials you already have at home or buy some new products that you would like to learn to work with and use those colors for the houseportraits. For the houseportrait of Malaysia I work with brush pens, I get to work with watercolor paint in Italy and for Cuba I use the alcohol markers.
A complete overview of the color materials can be found at Presentation of materials.
