And through this unique course, you'll be privy to Ian's storytelling secrets  while learning how he infuses his art with history and the present day.

Watch firsthand how his pictures evolve to tell fascinating stories of centuries old Inns that served ale to travellers 400 years ago... to the 200 year old pub frequented by fishermen in their wellies and waterproofs discussing the day’s catch... through to the regulars who go there today.

This is a highly engaging and entertaining course that artists of all abilities are going to love and learn from.

YOUR LESSONS

Watch over Ian's shoulder and follow-along as he lays everything out in super simple steps - guiding you from blank page to simple lines, to basic shapes, and then on to adding colour before filling in all of the finer detail, piece by piece.

Everything is clearly and concisely explained and broken down into steps that beginner to advanced level artists can follow. By the end of this course, you will develop the skills and confidence to draw and paint incredible urban art.

The Wheatsheaf Inn

In the first of 4 exciting online workshops, you will watch, learn and follow-along as Ian shows you how to draw and paint this very old pub that was built in 1611.

Ian starts out by arranging his pens in a very particular way, before walking you through all the steps that take you from blank page to producing a striking picture like this. One that is packed with incredible detail, from the plant pots, to the pub benches, and even the dog bowl that all tell fascinating stories about the people that come here.

The Anchor

In the next workshop we visit The Anchor, which is an old Sandstone brick building. Throughout the lessons in this workshop we focus on the facade and what we can see and notice within this front elevation.

From the drainpipes, the chimneys, the TV aerials, the windows, the sign, the bush, the post and many more intricate details - you'll learn how to include and draw it all within a very simple frame. But, this is a workshop that is not only about what to emphasise in your picture, but also what to leave out of your picture!

The Plasterers Arms

In this third online urban sketching workshop, we visit an old cosy and quirky fisherman's pub; The Plasterers Arms. This workshop is all about showing you how to zero in on all of the fantastic detail that is hanging on the facade, such as the lamps, the wires, the signage and so much more.

Through these packed lessons you'll discover how to incorporate a tremendous amount of detail into simple structures like this. You'll also discover some simple, yet magical touches you can make to your art, such as how to distort an image slightly to create drama and much more.

The Hooton Arms

For your fourth and final workshop, we travel with Ian to the Hooton Arms where you'll hone your storytelling skills. As with all of Ian's workshops, he walks you through his formulaic process for crafting mesmerising art, starting with the big shapes, the medium size shapes, the colour (and how he chooses it), followed by the detail. And this workshop is really all about noticing the finer details - drawing what you can see and not what you know.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm a beginner, can I take this course?

Ian assumes no prior knowledge or experience. He has designed this course to enable anybody to start with a blank page, follow-along with his specific methodology, develop new skills and produce a piece of work they will be very pleased with. Of course, if you have a certain level of artistic skill, then the techniques that Ian shares will help you to build upon your existing skills and give you a process that enables you to produce great work, in less time.

Can I take the workshops in any order?

Yes. All 4 workshops are standalone and are accessible from day 1 so that you can pick and choose which ones you work on. Each workshop has been designed to add or expand upon a specific area of urban sketching.

What's the difference between this course and a live workshop?
This value-packed course is extremely affordable when compared to the costs of attending a physical urban sketching workshop. Even better you can pause, rewind, speed up or slow down the tutorials to a pace that suits you. And you can watch them over and over again, until you know this stuff as well as Ian does.
