Painting Cityscapes in the Mountains

Artist Ryan Zweng (@zwengart) discusses his process for creating his abstract expressionist cityscapes. A native of San Francisco, most of Zweng’s cityscapes have actually been composed in the mountains 30 minutes south of the city- at Goth Mountain Studios (@gothmountain) in La Honda, CA.

Also discussed is the history of Northern California’s plein aire movement, and the historical context in which Zweng contributes to this form.
