Cityscape Painting Workshop with Shushana Rucker

Discover the beauty and structure of the urban landscape in this one-day workshop with Shushana Rucker. In this workshop participants will learn to simplify architectural forms, balance geometry with atmosphere, and capture the rhythm of city life. Working from photographs and sketches, you’ll explore composition, color, and texture to create a finished cityscape that reflects both the physical and emotional character of place. This workshop encourages experimentation and a closer look at the city around you. 

This workshop is held in conjunction with the exhibition: The Stillness of the City featuring the paintings of Mick Ricereto, Shushana Rucker, and Erik Weedeman, on view January 28 - February 22, 2026.
