Modern Urban Sketching Techniques with Mixed Media
“We have now reached the end of the course. I would like to thank you for your participation and I hope that it was an interesting and pleasant experience for you! As you have seen, working with mixed media is a playful and experimental process that takes you out of your comfort zone and shows you new ways to combine colors and textures. It gives you the opportunity to get in touch with your inner child and rediscover the joy of drawing without worrying too much about the rules. I encourage you to keep experimenting with mixed media: you don't have to spend a ton of money - you can achieve so much with what you already have at home! Remember, the better you know your materials, the more creative you can be. Before you start your final project, I would like to take you through the individual steps again. First, choose a scene that you want to paint. Let the motif work on you - what mood do you want to reproduce? Also think about the color tones in which you want to keep your picture and put together a palette. It's best to record your color choices on a piece of paper.

A course by Jenny Adam
Jenny Adam comes from a family of artists and has been painting and drawing since she can remember. After finishing her studies, she threw herself into product design and, in 2018, won the iF DESIGN AWARD for her work. She started urban sketching as a hobby, but quickly perfected her skills in the technique. Later, she began teaching drawing classes and workshops, as well as organizing exhibitions, which led her to receive more and more illustration commissions. Jenny regularly participates in urban sketching events and is co-founder of an association of urban sketchers, which celebrated their first meeting in Germany in 2015.
For her, urban drawing is a form of visual expression that allows her to simultaneously draw inspiration from her surroundings. Her artistic influences include German painter Käthe Kollwitz, American painter Elizabeth Peyton, illustrator Benoît Guillaume, and painter Fairfield Porter. Jenny works primarily as an illustrator for her newspaper and magazine clients. From her studio in Hamburg, she creates work for clients from all over Europe. She has also collaborated with mejor companies like Lufthansa, the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Der Spiegel, and Alnatura, among others.
