Paris Café Watercolour Paint Night in Calgary

Experience the charm of Paris through watercolour in our Paris Café Watercolour Paint Night at IN ART Studio in Calgary.

In this relaxing 3-hour painting class, you’ll create an atmospheric Parisian street scene featuring classic architecture, a cosy café and expressive figures. With step-by-step guidance from your instructor, you’ll learn how to simplify a complex city scene and capture its character without getting lost in every architectural detail.

This class is a great introduction to urban watercolour painting and is suitable for beginners as well as students with previous experience.

What You’ll Learn

During the class, we’ll explore:

• Creating loose and expressive architectural shapes
• Basic perspective for urban scenes
• Painting buildings without overworking details
• Using washes to create light and atmosphere
• Adding café awnings, windows and architectural accents
• Simplifying people and figures in a cityscape
• Creating depth through tonal values
• Soft and hard edges
• Colour mixing and layering
• Bringing a painting together with expressive final details

You’ll be guided through the painting process from the initial composition to the finishing touches, while still having the freedom to make the painting your own.
