Speed sketching in Ink and Watercolour
Live Speed Sketching with Dylan Sara
Each Tuesday, Dylan Sara hosts a speed sketching portrait session with time limits ranging from 30 seconds to 6 minutes. It’s a two-hour session with a short break in the midway point. Each week Dylan chooses a theme to inspire the poses, and the artists take it in turns to pose. This is a lively session with lots of chat.
Tuesday August 19th 2025 Session
Here’s my sketches from this session, done in an A5 Hahnemuehle sketchbook.
I love the expressiveness of this sketch above of Hans, and the sketch below of Jane. But I also liked the way I interpreted Dylan’s beard.
