Corner Shop: Loose, Lively Street Scenes
8 Lessons
Bring vibrant street light and lively brushwork to life in this fun, approachable mini-course! Whether you’re new to urban painting or looking to loosen up your strokes, Corner Shop Cityscapes shows you how to capture the charm of a neighborhood storefront—fast and easily. You’ll learn Patti’s simple, two-value block-in, fresh color mixes, and quick marks that suggest windows, signage, and glowing sidewalk without fussy detail. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s infusing the personality of a city corner with bold shapes, confident color, and just enough sparkle to make viewers feel the buzz of the street bathed in late afternoon light.
I finally stopped overworking! This course helped me focus on bold shapes and not needing to paint every detail in sight. Loved the loose yet reliable, structured approach.

I’ve always been intimidated by city scenes, but Patti broke it down so simply. The corner shop was the perfect subject to practice on.

This was such a refreshing change from painting still lifes. I felt like I was capturing real atmosphere, not just copying a my setup without a plan in place. I'll return to this again and again, whenever I need to refresh my process and what I've learned.
