Add People and Vehicles to Make Streetscapes Come Alive, with Marvin Chew

Join watercolour artist Marvin Chew for this 45 minute Arty Class webinar. Filmed live from Singapore on 8th June 2021.

 
 

**See Reference photo and recommended materials below**



In this interesting prelude to his full, 2-3 hour workshop webinar, Marvin will share with you some tips and tricks on how to paint suggested figures and vehicles in a streetscape, such as the scene below outside of the Sultan Mosque, Singapore.


Marvin will use the reference photos below from Vietnam to create something that looks realistic and believable. He will help you sketch a scene, discuss the use of composition, perspective and proportion, and then paint it.
