About Urban sketching
En plein air, French for "in the open air", is what most people think about artists working outdoors, with a large canvas, professional-looking easel and optional umbrella. The reality is that urban sketches can be done quickly and on the go, and the final product doesn't always have to look finished. The important thing is to capture the feeling in time and place, telling the story of the here and now. It's easy to start off with small sketches, especially as an utter beginner, without feeling intimidated by a large work. Can't draw a straight line? Straight lines are not needed! Loose lines actually contribute to the charm of a sketch. With a bit of practice, you can develop a unique style. Everybody sees things differently, and a single scene can be rendered in many ways by many people.
