John Hogan is a woodcarver and potter who began his Urban Sketching journey as a beginner with less than a year of experience. He was initially drawn to sketching when trying to capture a figure for his carvings but struggled with perspective. His curiosity about urban sketching grew after discovering vibrant watercolor sketches on Facebook, which led him to Ian Fennelly’s courses.
Urban Sketch Course Experience
John stumbled upon Ian’s course while looking for a way to improve the perspective in his figure sketching for carving. He was captivated by the colourful, lively sketches he saw online, which prompted him to try his hand at one. His immediate connection with sketching led him to sign up for the Beginner’s course, and he has been hooked ever since.
John is inspired by Ian’s fluid, confident painting style. Watching Ian paint with ease and precision motivates him to push his own boundaries and practice with greater confidence.
These sketches capture John’s remarkable progression, from his initial Urban Sketch to the more polished works that demonstrate his growing skill and creativity.
John’s story reflects the power of dedication and a supportive community in nurturing artistic growth. His journey continues, and he encourages others to take the leap into Urban Sketching, just as he did.
