my sketching tips

In general, I would recommend getting a size 6 watercolour brush if you're working on an A5 sketchbook or smaller. For larger sketchbooks like A3, it's would be better to get a size 8 or 10 because they have a bigger wash area.

Note that Escoda's size 10 travel watercolour brushes will not fit into those small metal 12-pan watercolour boxes. Check out all the watercolour brushes I've featured at https://www.parkablogs.com/tags/watercolour-brushes

I hear this a lot of time. Many beginners say that they can't draw buildings or scenes because they don't know perspective.

Perspective is a very helpful tool for sketching. But you don't have to use perspective to make a good sketch on location. This video will show you why.
