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

Appreciate and learn more works
