This demo delves into the moody magic of nocturnal landscapes – city streets shimmering after rain as day slips into night. At dusk, streetlights glow like gemstones in the light, wet pavement mirrors the atmosphere, and power lines add rhythm and depth. I’ll share my go-to substrates, brushes, paints, and mediums for this style; we’ll explore composition, value, and a rich yet simple palette. You’ll learn how to make those streetlights pop and reflections glisten, as we move between loose, painterly brush strokes and soft edges, balanced by crisp geometry and hard edges.

Biography

Inna Rohr is a Tucson-based artist, born in 1984 in Tallinn, Estonia – a cozy Northern European country that was part of the USSR at the time. Tucson has been her homebase since 2004, where she creates and teaches classes and workshops in her studio. In addition to her personal practice, she is the founder and director of Untitled Gallery, a community-oriented, volunteer-run space supporting local artists since 2019.

After earning degrees in design and animation, Inna spent nearly a decade working in advertising and television before deciding to pursue art full-time. Largely self-taught, she continues to seek inspiration from mentors and artists, attending workshops, conventions, and residencies to expand her knowledge and practice.

Inna primarily works in oil, exploring a wide range of subjects – from figurative and plein air work to landscapes, interiors, and still life’s. She also enjoys the spontaneity of watercolor, often using it to capture live jazz, nature, and figure studies. More recently, she has been exploring mixed media and fiber art, creating mystical sculptural pieces from clay, wax, thread, and natural materials. For her, the subject determines the medium – a philosophy that keeps her practice ever-evolving and intuitive. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is held in private and public collections across the U.S. and Europe.
