Build a sketchbook spread step-by-step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Episode 1 – Mosaic Wall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This free mini-series hosted on Youtube<\/a> is great for beginners to ink & watercolour sketching. We shall end up with a collage of sketches of the architecture of Gaudi!! Build a sketchbook spread with me step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2b50\ufe0f EPISODE 1<\/a><\/strong> is a very gentle introduction to the work of the incredibly famous architect, Gaudi. We shall do something simple and easy, a section of a mosaic wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 You’ll learn that sketching the world around you doesn’t have to be intimidating and small simple sketches are just as valid as intricate scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the reference photo for you to work from. Bookmark this page so you can continue building your sketchbook spread with me weekly! Or better yet, join my newsletter<\/a><\/strong> and never miss an episode!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Episode 2 – Casa Battl\u00f3 (aka. The Dragon House)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2b50\ufe0f Watch EPISODE 2<\/a> – we continue to build our spontaneous sketchbook spread and get a little more complex by sketching Casa Battlo, otherwise known as The Dragon House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are still keeping it simple as, rather than sketch the entire building, I have chosen just a portion of it. By focussing on just the roof and tower we tell the story of the dragon house without having to sketch everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you enjoy following along and the reference photo is below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Episode 3 – Parque G\u00fcell<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2b50\ufe0f Watch EPISODE 3<\/a><\/strong> here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are stepping it up with our sketchbook spread by focusing on one of the buildings inside Parque G\u00fcell. I am not too sure of the name of it but it’s a pretty cool gingerbread-looking house with a checkerboard tower! So much fun to draw!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the reference photo so you can follow along:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Episode 4 – Sagrada Familia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2b50\ufe0f Watch EPISODE 4<\/a><\/strong> here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moment we have all been waiting for! In this episode I added the Sagrada Familia to my sketchbook spread, slap bang in the middle. As Gaudi’s most famous (and still unfinished) project, I thought it was only right it took centre stage. In this video, I show you how you can sketch a complicated building like this quickly and loosely while still retaining recognisability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Episode 5 – Gaudi House Museum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2b50\ufe0f Watch EPISODE <\/strong>5<\/a> here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this penultimate video in the series, we add another sketch to the top left corner of the spread. I talk about how to break down a seemingly complicated scene into easy shapes plus how you can sketch something like this quickly & easily to create an impression of what you see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Episode 6 – Architectural Details – Casa Battl\u00f3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2b50\ufe0f Watch EPISODE 6<\/a><\/strong> here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the final instalment of “Build a Sketchbook Spread: Sketch Gaudi With Me” mini-series. We shall add the last sketch in the top right corner. I decided to zoom in on the window of Casa Battlo – it’s such an iconic architectural detail that many people will recognise. I think it gives an interesting counterpoint to many of the other sketches on the page which are of entire buildings or scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also show how I included some lettering into the gaps available on the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you have enjoyed this series and learnt a lot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
