Architectural drawing with watercolor and ink
“Dear students, Thank you so much for spending some time learning watercolor and sketching techniques with me. I hope you’ve had fun and have been able to pick up some new skills and ideas to incorporate into your own work.

Whenever you’re trying something for the first time it can feel a little clumsy. And as we’ve seen, watercolor can have a mind of its own. But with patience and practice, you’ll start to see great improvements. The important thing is to play and have fun. Don’t worry about ruining a few sheets of paper!

And if, in addition to the Domestika community, you want to share your creation with everyone, you can upload photos of your work to Instagram with the hashtag #AlexHilkutzDomestika. I will love to see the whole process! ”

Alex Hillkurtz was born in England and grew up in California where he is a renowned storyboard artist for feature films, television, and commercials. His film credits include Argo, Almost Famous, It’s Complicated, and many others. Alex currently lives in Paris with his film editor wife, Tiffany, and enjoys discovering the hidden corners of the city that sketching and painting allow.
He uses the language of cinema to compose his images, moving beyond what one sees and depicting what he wants others to see. He believes that in our overly crowded lives, sketching and painting invites us to move at a more deliberate pace, giving us a true sense of place, where unexpected stories are revealed.
