In this watercolour class, you will learn how to capture the enchanting atmosphere of a cityscape at sunset. You'll explore how to create luminous colours and light effects that evoke the magic of the moment.

Throughout the class, you will receive step-by-step guidance to create your own sunset cityscape painting. We will cover the essential watercolour techniques, such as layering and blending colours, wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry applications, and brushwork.

You will also learn how to create a sense of depth and perspective in your cityscape. We'll discuss how to balance warm and cool colours, how to create atmospheric effects and reflections, and how to use contrast to add drama to your painting.

By the end of the class, you'll have gained a solid foundation in watercolour painting techniques, and you'll have created a beautiful sunset cityscape painting that captures the magic of the moment. Whether you're a beginner or an intermediate painter, this class is perfect for anyone looking to hone their skills and create a stunning work of art.

Thank you so much for your interest in this class!

I’ve been painting for many years now, taken part in many exhibitions around the world and won awards from well respected organisations. As well as having my work feature in art magazines. After having success selling my originals and 1000s of prints around the world, I decided to start traveling with my brushes and paintings. My style is modern and attempts to grasp the essence of what I’m painting whilst allowing freedom and expression to come through. I simplify complicated subjects into easier shapes that encourages playfulness.

You'll Learn:

What materials and equipment to need to painting along
Basic technique to complete your first painting
How to avoid common mistakes
Choosing the right colours for your painting
How to blend colours and create textures for different effects
Making corrections and improvements
Finishing touches that make a big difference

When enrolled, I’ll include my complete ‘Watercolour Mixing Charts’. These are a huge aid for beginners and experts alike. They show what every colour on the palette looks like when mixed with each other. Indispensable when it comes to choosing which colour to mix.
