For my work as an architect I draw and sketch a lot, especially geomatric floor plans and realistic facades. But how fun is it to draw beautiful houses and buildings where not everything is perfectly in proportion. Sketches that do not have to correspond exactly with reality and where a crooked line is beautiful. I call those drawings ‘houseportraits’. And in my online course I’m going to teach you how to!
“Drawing houseportraits is not difficult at all. I think at it as Urban Sketching light! Can you draw a rectangle and a circle? Then you can also draw a houseportrait!”
Draw along with me! During our travels we visit the most beautiful places. How nice is it to be able to capture those memories on paper or in your sketchbook. In this course I will teach you how to. Each houseportrait has approximately 1 hour of video material. You can draw with me, because the videos are pre-recorded you can pause whenever you want if it goes too fast. You can watch the videos at your leisure and at your own pace. If you like to draw digitally in ProCreate on your iPad, these lessons are also ideal. We are going to have fun drawing!
The houseportraits Let’s travel! courses stand on its own. You do not need to have attended any of my previous courses. And if you’re not sure whether it’s for you, watch the free video ‘I can’t draw!’. The course is for both the beginner and the advanced artist. The beginner may want to rewatch a part of the videos now and then or recreate a sketch. And the advanced can draw with me and will probably benefit from all the tips I give while drawing.
“Do you draw along with me?”
In principle, you can already participate with a pencil and a sheet of paper. If you want to work with the same materials I use, I advise you to take a look at the ‘Presentation of materials’ beforehand the course.
You will guaranteed to be addicted to drawing ‘houseportraits’ after this course. It certainly doesn’t stop at these three travel destinations! Are you curious about the work of other enthusiastic participants, check the hashtag #houseportraits_ck on Instagram.
