Painting Urban and Cityscapes : Book by Hashim Akib

Cities provide a wealth of visually stunning scenes for the artist, from soaring skyscrapers and sun-baked cafes to rain-soaked streets, illuminated nightscapes and quiet, atmospheric corners. This practical book explains how to paint these scenes using water-based painting materials and new techniques. With invaluable tips and advice throughout, it encourages a looser, more colorful approach to painting and shares a range of ideas for style and interpretation.

It includes a guide to water-based mediums including acrylic, watercolor and mixed media, with advice on drawing, creative color mixing and perspective. With step-by-step instructions, including tackling a street scene and creating and capturing the movement of people, this book will help you capture the color and movement of urban scenes and develop your own creative style of painting.
