Urban Anna

Anna Urban

Now 56, Anna is just a retired wage earner

But her life is more exciting than ever

 

 

Anna, who likes painting, had the idea of creating art very early

Sketching painting became her most direct and easy method

The color visual experience of watercolor makes her immersed in every day of retirement life

Despite being 56 years old

But she has the mental age of 16 years old

Infinite vitality and love for life

A fashionable "grandma"

Walk through every alley of the city alone

Discover all kinds of beautiful shops


△ The details are not only the depiction of the architecture, but also the goods in the store will be very carefully displayed. Simple lines are outlined with colors, which are simple and healing


In Anna's pen

Her work is very simple

Use a needle pen to outline every beautiful shop you encounter

The large profile does not limit all the edges

There is always white space around a blank sheet of paper

And all edges will only be determined by the elements of the picture

This adds a lot of life to the picture effect

It also seems to make the audience guess what the next shop looks like


 

Anna Urban's working career before the age of 50 made her yearn for art

The first thing you do after retirement is to learn to draw

Of course, through the Internet or some other way of self-taught painting

She has become a self-taught painter

From wage earners to realizing freedom of painting

Officially checked in nearly 280 stores in 2 years

She became the coolest retired Internet celebrity painter


 

With a simple set of watercolor tools

Anna has been painting with a new attitude since 2020

Although it's not so amazing and perfect

But persist for 5 years

From painting to punching in online celebrity

Anna has been painting the simplest pictures

It's just that she draws simplicity to the extreme

Capture all the details of life

Express the beauty of buildings with their own characteristics


 

Today Anna is an urban architecture painter by profession

It has also attracted the pursuit and love of countless people

Sharing became Anna's favorite pleasant thing

She began to summarize her path of learning painting

Leave behind all the painting steps of the subsequent creation

Made into a super practical book "Textbook"


△ Part of the content page, summary of the experience of painting, and the painting process methods of each painting

△ Anna's Books


Give magical color to ordinary things

Anna realized the freedom of painting and at the same time enriched her life

Walk in every corner of the city

All the way she likes it

A bustling street

There are lights and feasts everywhere

But life under the brush is more interesting
