July & August 2008 Painting Project: Abstracting an Urban Scene

Challenge yourself with this painting project.

By Marion Boddy-Evans, About.com Guide

The challenge this project is to convey the essence of an urban scene, without the detail. It's to be an abstraction not pure abstract. This photo gallery is from when the project ran in 2008. For further inspiration, also take a look at the 2009 Urban Abstraction Painting Project.
