Painting the Urban Landscape with Diego Narvaez
About This Experience
Join Diego Narvaez and discover the essential dos and don'ts of urban painting compared to plein air painting in nature. He will cover how to sketch in the city and transform those sketches into actual artworks in the studio. The emphasis will be on making the city your own and expressing your unique vision through your art. Diego will demonstrate techniques to bring flat surfaces—such as building façades, windows, sidewalks, and pavement—alive with colour and detail, highlighting the importance of perspective when painting urban scenes.
