  • Urban Sketching

    This was my second time taking Israel's course, Urban Sketching, and I really enjoyed it once more. He always gives students pointers and steers us to focus on simplifying our drawings and color application. I highly recommend!
  • Urban Sketching

    Israel has helped me to not over-think and just create. He has given a lot of tips that have really helped me better see my subjects, especially perspective-wise. He has helped my approach by simplifying the process instead of trying to put pressure on myself to immediately create a masterpiece. I recommend this course. Though short it has inspired me to continue creating landscapes and to find my style.
