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’s 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 angle 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.

And no course of Ian’s would be complete without the customary urban sketching interruptions! From random, curious passers-by to being accosted by a pub landlady – everything is caught on camera and elegantly handled by Ian in his usual warm, friendly and humorous style.

Regardless of what level you’re at, Ian Fennelly’s Urban Sketching Pub Tour not only builds your skills but it gives you the confidence to get out and do this and easily handle any uncertainties that might crop up along the way!

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.
