Inspired by Alice Mawdsley's new travel illustration book - The Traveling Sketcher: City. Learn to draw your travel memories.
This session we will be travelling to Milan through illustration and learning how to turn an everyday travel moment into an illustrated postcard. Learn how to capture the character of one of Italy's most beautiful cities.
This workshop is based on a scene Alice photographed while writing the architecture chapter of my book in Milan, featuring a cyclist as the focal point travelling through a historic street in Porta Magenta.
Rather than simply drawing the architecture, you will learn how to create a sense of story and narrative within your illustration. Learning composition techniques, focal points, and the use of light, shadow and colour to guide the viewer through the scene. You will also learn how to draw people in movement, simplify architecture and create depth with perspective.
Designed as a relaxed 2 hour 20 minute drawing workshop open to all skill levels, Alice will guide you through every step of the drawing process.
Materials:
Sketchbook or drawing paper (Alice recommends 5x7" paper for a card size. Alice's favourites are Arches or Fabriano Hot Pressed watercolour paper).
A selection of coloured pencils (Alice uses Caran d'Ache Luminance, but any brand or set you have at home works).
What's included:
2 hour 20 minute self-paced video tutorial — lifetime access, watch as often as you like
An illustration workshop from a professional, published illustrator.
Full chapter timestamps, so you can jump to any section
The reference image to draw from
My colour palette for the piece
Who it's for:
Complete beginners and experienced sketchers alike - anyone who wants to slow down, draw, and enjoy the process.
How it works:
As soon as you check out, you'll receive a PDF with your private video link and everything you need to begin. For the workshop, you only need a sketchbook and colour pencils.
Prefer to draw along live? Check out my upcoming live workshops. If you want to dive deeper into illustration, you can explore my book - The Traveling Sketcher: City.
You can share your artwork on social media and tag @alicemawdsleyillustrates - Alice loves seeing the drawings you create.
