… detailed watercolours documenting urban landscapes that express diverse cultures inhabiting that space.
My inspiration to paint “Urban Landscapes” started while walking inside local neighbourhoods during the Covid lockdown in 2020. While walking an interesting scene would usually appear and would take photos.
Many of these photos became snap shots urban living. These outings become enjoyable and nurtured my creativity. I started to notice energy in these locations, as well as interesting shapes and colours. Taking photos assisted my vision in creating a solid composition and used as reference and memory that assists during painting.
