URBAN SKETCHING
Explore your creative potential in this sketching course composed of more than 11 hours of content with Yann Leroy!
Artists are born, not made: THIS IS WRONG!
✨ You have always been led to believe that creativity flows naturally and effortlessly.
✨ You have always thought that the ability to capture the beauty of the world around us is innate.
✨ True artists never lose their inspiration and always produce masterpieces when they face the world with their sketchbooks.
Am I wrong?
Well, these are myths! There is no magical, innate talent, but what you admire so much in others is just the result of effort and dedication. That's right!
PATIENCE, DEDICATION, PASSION: these are the three elements that make you a true artist.
I won't deny that some may have a head start, but I promise you that if you have the desire, you can become a true artist yourself!
My role is to guide you on this creative journey, equipping you with the tools and knowledge to capture the soul of the world around you.
What do you think? Let's start this journey together!
Sketching is something you can learn too!
Are you passionate about capturing the essence of the world around you? Do you love sketching but feel like you lack the skills to truly bring your vision to life? Are you a self-taught artist looking to elevate your craft?
Sketching the world around us is a talent that everyone can learn!
I designed this course for enthusiasts of all levels, from absolute beginners to those who have already started their artistic journey. You will learn how to observe and depict the beauty of urban landscapes using gouache as your medium.
Let’s embark on this journey together and discover the artist within you!
Hey, I'm Yann
I am an architect with a long international career. Born in Brazzaville, Congo, I was educated in Paris at the Paris School of Architecture La Villette and the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo). I also studied Art History at Paris-X Nanterre and The Ecole du Louvre in Paris.
I settled in New York and served as the design partner for my company, BBG Architects. I have designed numerous landmark buildings in the US and Asia.
Throughout my career, I have relied on my classical art training to design and present my projects to clients and owners. While embracing emerging digital technology, I have never abandoned sketching as a means of exploring and communicating ideas.
To this day, sketching remains my primary form of expression, grabbing any graphic tool within reach to explore my ideas and concepts.
AT THE END OF THE COURSE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:
Improve observation
Understand perspective
Master the art of creating depth and dimension. You’ll learn how to accurately represent space, giving your sketches a professional, three-dimensional quality. No more flat or lifeless drawings—your work will leap off the page with realism and precision
Sketch what you see
Turn what you see into what you draw. By combining observation and perspective, you’ll confidently translate real-life scenes onto paper with accuracy and style. From urban landscapes to everyday moments, you’ll sketch with ease and bring your artistic vision to life.
Course Content
The course consists of more than 11 hours of exclusive content in a series of 10 to 15-minute video classes.
The classes present tools and projects and describe and demonstrate the main points for each class.
Organized naturally, from presenting the tools and supports and their uses to project-specific classes. The projects chosen have varying difficulty levels and are adapted to familiarize the student with the main objective of the class.
