Morning light slices over the Atlantic, the breeze from the sea nudging your easel as you set up on the park lawn. In Green Point Urban Park the city loosens its pace — joggers sweep past, gulls argue overhead and the stadium’s concrete angles stand like a quiet neighbor. Here, the activity is part art class, part alfresco break: canvases, brushes and a low picnic setup arrive; the ocean and Table Mountain sit just outside the frame.
