Sketchbook Landscapes: A Colorful Approach

Agnès Decourchelle starts by introducing herself and telling you about her artistic influences. The press, publishing houses, communication agencies, the audiovisual sector...she loves nothing more than working on diverse projects.

Dive in and take a closer look at the practice of drawing. Agnès walks you through the recommended course material and teaches you how to use a sketchbook to capture a place's essence and serve as your catalogue of spontaneous images. Carry out some research on the place you've chosen to paint, with particular emphasis on the light, then work on movement in drawing with a practical exercise.

Now it's time to explore the exciting world of color! Draw some sketches to find the right frame and composition for your illustration, then define a color palette. Structure the composition of your final drawing and move on to adding the color using a technique that doesn't sacrifice any of the spontaneity of your drawing.

To go one step further, Agnès invites you to try a more abstract technique for landscape drawing, using a photo series. She wraps up by showing you the best way to share your creations on social media so you can gain an even larger audience.
