This class is not about precise architectural drawing, but about creating believable and expressive cityscapes.
You’ll complete two full cityscape paintings using two different approaches, one more simplified and atmospheric, and one with more defined architectural detail
Focus: atmosphere, values, simplification
Focus: color harmony, depth, controlled detail
Cityscapes often feel complicated because we try to capture everything - every line, every detail.
In this class, we take a different approach.
Instead of focusing on precision and complex perspective rules, you’ll learn how to simplify what you see and focus on what actually makes a painting work.
We’ll use:
suggestion instead of over-detailing
values and edges to create depth
color to build atmosphere
This allows you to paint cityscapes that feel believable and expressive without overworking them or getting lost in the details.
