Urban Sketching

Urban sketching is the observation and recording the world around you. I was so excited when we received this task as landscapes and buildings are definitely one of my weak points, so I knew this would be a great week to develop. I went into the week in the mindset of not being overly critical of anything going into my sketchbook, as any work is a step forward. Because of this, I think I enjoyed the week much more than I expected. The approach I took was very carefree, and loose, which I believe is portrayed in my art work. I found that a lot of the time, the mistakes and inaccuracies in the images gave the pieces character. Rather than being exact, calculated replicas of what I saw, they were more descriptions of the areas feeling and sense.

I also think the task was quite a nice breath of fresh air in current times. To be able to wander outside and not really think too much about what I was creating was extremely relaxing, and calming. I definitely think I'll find myself urban sketching more on my adventures out if I ever need a break, or time to myself.
