Mid-Beginner and Intermediate
In this 4-week intermediate-level workshop, you’ll learn to capture the pulse of urban life — not just how it looks, but how it feels. Explore colour, light, and texture as you paint four distinct city atmospheres: a moody nocturne, a luminous snowy street, a rain-soaked avenue, and a sunlit skyline. Through guided demos, creative exercises, and expressive techniques, you’ll develop your personal style while mastering how to infuse emotion and atmosphere into your cityscapes. Feel the city. Paint its soul. Join us for a transformative exploration of expressive urban painting.
