Tate Sketch Club: Urban Drawing is a practical, hands-on guide to building confidence with sketching in the city. Through a series of simple step-by-step exercises, I share the approach, techniques, and mindset I’ve developed over years of drawing on location—covering everything from getting started and choosing materials to knowing when to stop and how to work through mistakes. It’s designed to feel like you’re part of a sketching group, with the aim of helping you loosen up, enjoy the process, and develop your own style.

Sketch Club: Urban Watercolour builds on that foundation, introducing colour in a way that feels accessible and intuitive. The book explores techniques like line and wash, tone, and negative space, showing how watercolour can bring atmosphere and depth to your sketches without overcomplicating the process. It’s very much about opening up watercolour as a medium by keeping it loose, expressive, and enjoyable, whether you’re completely new to it or looking to take your urban sketches a step further.
