Night Scene - Step 3



Step 3

I laid down the light reflections in the water using a variety of colors and working wet-into-wet to allow the colors to run together. I also started to add some of my first darks with the bridge, trees, and some of the windows, rooftops, etc. Notice how this already makes the buildings seem lighter.

I also put my first wash in the sky, keeping it wet, but being careful to paint around my light areas. I wanted the sky to have a very warm glow, so this first wash was pure Alizarin Crimson with a little Burnt Siena mixed in.
