Mark Taro Holmes makes it all look so easy! This is a really good course for urban sketching, maybe not for a beginner but you can learn so much by just observing his techniques. I love his finished work - beautiful!

A video where one can watch the artist draw and paint. No real info here, was not instructional, for me anyway.

Marc Taro Holmes is such a good instructor, this class gives a nice overview of a single bigger project. His process is suitable for a lot of different skill levels, and I've found his approach really useful as I get into urban sketching.
