Step 4
More work on the darks here. I wanted to let the warm colors from the lights bleed down into the bridge, so I had to be careful to keep those edges soft (as opposed to the hard edges more commonly seen in watercolor.)
Notice also how the buildings begin to become more ambiguous as they recede off into the distance. With any landscape, things become less distinct and have less detail and contrast as they get farther away. The term for this is atmospheric perspective and, although somewhat difficult to achieve in watercolor, is a great way to establish depth.
