The urban landscape is about being in transit and vehicles help create the buzz, the vibrancy and bright lights. Put in motion a trolley car, train, taxi, or bus to learn how to edit and capture the complex scene with simplified shapes, creative brushwork, and little detail. Discover how to use features such as headlights and tail lights for contrast against the looming, gray skyscrapers. Let's hit the road in this fun, fast paced workshop painting the energy and pulse of the city! Reference material provided. Introductory watercolor experience needed. Material Fee: $5.00
