Draw Tip Tuesdays - Urban Sketching on a Coffee Date: Tips & Inspiration

Welcome to the final Draw Tip Tuesday of the year! Today, we’re celebrating the year’s end by heading to a cafe for a cozy sketching session. I’ll walk you through my process step-by-step as I capture the vibe of the space, focusing on mint-colored cups first and then also adding the barista. You’ll see how I use watercolors, a fountain pen, and a watercolor pencil to build a scene that captures the vibe. If you’ve ever felt nervous about sketching in public, I’ll also share tips on overcoming that fear and how connecting with people through art can make the experience even more rewarding.
