Course description

The rainy night in the city is all about contrasts : shining lights and dark silhouettes of buildings, graphic lines of architectural elements and soft reflections on the wet streets. This class is about creating such an illuminated atmosphere.

With the teacher's guidance this complex work will be split into doable steps. You’ll see a demonstration of every step and will get the instructions for better process understanding. You also will have time to paint your own picture.

This is a LIVE-COURSE - all participants get access to the recording for 8 Weeks.
