**PLEIN AIR WORKSHOP with IRINA YUSHMANOVA 💧🌆** **URBAN WATERCOLOR: Paint the city while it’s still breathing**   Who’s Irina? Irina Yushmanova paints like water has a mind of its own. For her, watercolor is rebellious and tender at the same time: you suggest, water decides, and when they agree… pure magic.   She’s obsessed with cities and people. Wild angles, light bouncing off windows, reflections, motion, speed. No copying photos here: Irina chases atmosphere, energy, that you-are-there feeling. When she paints, time stops and all that’s left is awe.   Why plein air? Because the city won’t wait. Light shifts, people move, the moment bolts. Painting outside gives you what no photo can: real light, real air, real life. Freshness, spontaneity, and a splash of chaos that makes your watercolor buzz.   In this workshop you’ll learn how to build an urban scene that looks luminous, dynamic, and pro. No fear of water.   You’ll leave knowing how to: 1️⃣ Catch a scene in minutes – Grab what matters before it disappears. 2️⃣ Paint on the street start to finish – From framing and perspective to the last brushstroke in watercolor. 3️⃣ Make a pro-level city watercolor – Light, reflections, texture, intentional marks. Make it feel alive.   📅 When: Sunday, Aug 9th, 2026 🕙 Time: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM | Get there at 9:30 to set up 📍 Where: Fábrica La Aurora ⏱️ Duration: 5 hours of water, light, and city 👥 Spots: Only 10-15 people.
