Meet Irena Spector, one of our instructors at the Urban Sketchers Symposium in Toulouse, France, on July 15-18, 2026! #USkToulouse2026
Demo/Activity DEM35
Toulouse in Four Moves: Wash, Shape, Line, Life— Building a City Sketch Step by Step
In this demo, I’ll walk you through a step-by-step approach to building an urban
watercolor sketch — from setting the atmosphere with loose washes and
Toulouse’s rose-toned palette to connecting elements with line, and finishing with
vibrant details that add rhythm, structure, and life to the scene.
The Urban Sketchers Symposium is in Toulouse, France, on July 15-18, 2026.
The Urban Sketchers International Symposium is an annual educational event organized by Urban Sketchers (USk), a nonprofit dedicated to fostering the practice of on-location observational sketching. urbansketchers.org
It brings together sketchers of all levels for four days of valuable field-sketching instruction, inspiration, and opportunities for participants to meet new friends.
