Welcome to Phlox WordPress Theme.
- COMING SOON -
Let's have FUN Sketching Buildings
that Feel Solid
AND
Full Of Character
A live 4-week online course
for Urban Sketching and beyond.
-> SAVE YOUR SPOT NOW.
"I feel that my buildings turn out unstructured when I just draw,
but when I follow all the rules they turn out lifeless."
Is this you?
If you want your buildings to feel believable, full of character AND fun to sketch,
so you can confidently sketch them anywhere, enjoy the process, and make them yours,
this course is for you.
→ Learn how to make your buildings solid within a minute.
→ Unlock 3 strategies with concrete steps you can use to push and exaggerate your buildings for playful and dramatic effects.
→ Master the steps to make your building look 3D.
→ Explore playful and expressive color schemes to take your building to the next level.
PLAYFUL PERSPECTIVES =
a bit of PERSPECTIVE
+ a big dash of EXAGGERATION AND RULE BENDING
+ some PLAYFUL COLOR
→ You’ll be able to apply your learnings straight away.
My promise:
If you follow through,
your BUILDINGS WILL BECOME MORE SOLID AND PLAYFUL.
Let’s look into the specifics of what we’ll cover:
Session 1: SOLIDITY
Let’s build your confidence!
– Structures as box
– Perspective as tool for solidity
– 3 reasons your buildings look wrong
– extracting information from photos
– from minimal to complex
Session 2: CHARACTER
Let’s bend the rules!
– pushing PROPORTIONS
– pushing VOLUMES
(e.g. wide angle effect)
– adding EMBELLISHMENTS
– pushing ANGLES
(e.g. dutch tilt)
Session 3: PLAYFUL COLOR
– how to use value to make your building 3D
– expressive color schemes:
- playful color: happy gradients
- moody color: complements
Session 4: CLARITY
SKETCH CLINIC
– Q&A session to cover any issues that have come up
– extras may include:
(e.g. fisheye perspective; expanding beyond one building, etc.)
If you want to conquer sketching playful, stylized houses in 2026,
NOW is the chance.
Ideal for beginners who have been drawing for a while up to advanced students.
No prior perspective knowledge necessary.
TESTIMONIALS for Oliver’s teaching :
It was challenging and very informative, unlike other art courses I have attended.
After your course I have an understanding of color and a path forward for improvement.
Great job putting together this course. I would certainly recommend it!!
-Keith T.
Thanks so much for a great class!
I learned a ton.
Your method of splitting lights and darks is so helpful.
And I think the concept of simplifying shapes finally clicked for me, hearing you talk about it.
I’m very inspired to use more expressive, non-realistic colors going forward!
-Karen H.
Oliver, I thought the class was great and I really appreciated it and enjoyed it.
You were very thorough and made sure we understand everything.
It forced me to focus more on value.
And it explained reflective light very well!
Definitely worth the money!
-Sandra S.
It is so hard to get this kind of information anywhere! In depth yet not abstract and applicable
Finally! So good. Thank you sooo much!
