In this class you will learn how to paint cityscapes in watercolor!
In this class you will learn how to:
- Simplify different elements of the composition
- Understand the use of perspective in cityscapes
- Utilise values and contrast to create a "glow" in your nightscapes
The focus of this class here today is to help you put the theories of landscape or cityscape painting into practice. A lot of the time... we learn about the fundamental concepts behind what makes a good painting but are not given sufficient examples to utilize them and apply them to our own paintings. This class serves to bridge that gap by showing you the entire process, from conception and reference photo, all the way to painting and finishing the entire piece.
By the end of this class, you will be able to paint one of the two paintings demonstrated, and be better equipped to tackle cityscapes on your own.
Follow along and you will be able to finish with these two paintings:
My other watercolor class (beginners friendly):
If you are starting out and would like a beginners friendly class, I have an 18 minute short class where I introduce watercolor from the very beginning while painting a sunset. You will learn techniques of how to create smooth transitions in watercolor, and control the water paint ratio.
