URBAN SKETCHING PUB TOUR
WITH IAN FENNELLY
Watch, learn and follow-along with Ian Fennelly as he takes you on a fascinating learning journey to 4 quaint British pubs while teaching you the techniques and style that have made him one of the world’s best loved urban sketchers!
COURSE DETAILS
Pubs are classic British institutions. In this unique course, you'll get to follow Ian Fennelly, step-by-step, as he reveals his techniques for drawing the front elevation of any building - and turning it into something spectacular!
From the hanging baskets, to the signage, to the windows, doorways and chimney pots - you're about to learn the secrets to drawing wonderful buildings that are packed with personality and charm.
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.
