How to Paint a City Scape at Night in Watercolour

[@vanessalynch7985]

Paul this is such an amazing tutorial. Any Wednesday you post a video is a wonderful start to my day. Thanks for giving us your time in doing these free tutorials. It is much appreciated by so many of us. You have no idea. And thanks to Margot for the time she puts in on the weekly challenges. 👨‍🎨👩‍🎨🎨

[@jeanetteadams8095]

I wake up every Wednesday and go right to KZbin to see what Paul has for us. This is gorgeous. A little intimidating but, hey, that's how we grow

[@Sherlock2022]

Yes, I look out for these on Wednesday too.

[@zalwanizz]

I could feel the glaring blinding headlight from that car Mr Clark. Its superb.

[@juliechen8710]

Paul, thank you for your tutorials! They always remind me that making art is not obsessing over whether I’m ever good enough (which is something I was taught in school and it holds me back most of the time). Making art is about having fun while creating, learning, practicing something and slowly getting better at it as a result. Your channel has always been a great learning resource and inspiration.

[@malharangarkhe8656]

Paul sir really inspire me for every single day to start my watercolor

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear!

[@hussmeister792]

Thanks Paul! Big hello from Fort Worth Texas! The Greatest Country in the World!

[@pauline3379]

I love Wednesdays because we get another Paul video 😁 thank you for your generosity of the free outline sketches Paul 😀

[@lisamurphy5007]

Again! What a great tutorial! The lights just make the painting. I am blown away by the night time light. Thank you

[@thedieiscast9729]

Enjoyed seeing this painting, I thought that the white you added at the end really gave it life. Thanks.

[@mo-mo-p5t]

I love how you provided a beginner’s version similar to this one in your book and can’t express how much I appreciate that the pedagogy is created for a “complete” beginner which is hard to find. Once I develop my skills, I’ll definitely return to this and give it a go. Thanks again!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear - have fun!

[@manonsinclairladyofblairad9675]

Beautiful! I live in Canada, in the country so I get my classes through you. I'm very grateful I found your channel!

[@normaspande3141]

Wow! Thank you for that exciting project….can hardly wait for the sun to come up…it should be so much fun. You are such a great teacher.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome!

[@grahamramsden3692]

Really good again. Very impressive 3hours work. So many hints, will have to rewatch time and time again. Ta muchly as ever.

[@annedurand3136]

I have been searching for tutorials (gouache or watercolour) about city at nighttime for a long time, this is perfect!! Thanks Paul!!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lennartbjurstrom2548]

Audi Dudi! Lovely painting and I think you did a great job on that Audi! Vroom!

[@22utello]

You are just an amazing artist, to bring out that picture from the first color blobs into a really sophisticated looking night street scene is just incredible. It has so much (European) atmosphere, thanks so much for your tutorials, I really appreciate them all.

[@patriciamckeon8530]

All I could think about work today was getting home to watch your new tutorial ! Your painting and watching it come to life is so magical ! You make it look effortless Paul. Your figures came to life as I watched silently in awe :). Thank you as always, but I may have to pass on this one, it looks a little too advanced for me.

[@pamgibbons2043]

👌Lovely memories of walking these streets in Florence .😍

[@Doodkapje]

What a lovely moody painting. Good reflection of the darker days coming up. Grazie!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you too!

[@jilliandane3737]

Everything in this painting is superb. The buildings and the people are marvellously painted. Love how you illustrated the city life at night with the night lights and shades. The cars and the sidewalk looks like real together with the street front. Thank you so much this terrific painting and for another great watercolor wednesday.

[@perryBartlett-uq4wr]

WOW . EVERTIME I think this ones going to be a bit more relaxing ha ha ha thankyou loved it

[@cherylwilliams42]

Good. Opening from Texas. USA. Thank you for your willingness to share your talent.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much!

[@mikegrant4424]

Always so enjoyable to watch you paint and teach us step by step Paul. Thank you so much. I can't say Mike in Cali anymore because we retired and moved up to Oregon. Carry on my friend, I love your work...

[@rupamagdy805]

Wow!!! It’s just amazing how you bring all those loose washes into one cohesive, realistic looking painting! Thank you so much for sharing

[@poppyburns3807]

Great tutorial. Love the headlights in the white and thank you for adding the note about the bricks in perspective, with the overlay. Incredibly helpful. As always love the real-time painting section. Thank you again.

[@robyncutts628]

Absolutely beautiful Paul and so many useful techniques to practise. I can’t wait to give it a go. Sincere thanks for all the time you spend bringing us these tutorials every week. I look forward to each Wednesday (Thursday morning for me)

[@peldridge2627]

This is lovely! I am always so amazed to see a painting come together ... my untrained eye gets lost in the early chaos stage and then to see the painting emerge from random markings always amazes me. Perhaps one day I'll know where I'm going in my own paintings, too.

[@InestoIris]

Absolutely amazing as always!!! And the accent 😉 Thank you again for your videos!

[@stampinturtles]

Liron does cars really well! Yours turned out awesome and I really enjoy watching you paint. I was so happy to see a video today from you. It always brightens my day. I’ve been sketching this morning and planning to make a video. You make it look so easy but I know making videos takes time and planning. I know I can speak for everyone that we truly appreciate all you do for us (artists). Very inspiring to watch you paint. God bless you and now I’m off to go paint. 🎨🖌🖼

[@scarlettgoeman8804]

Une fois de plus, un tuto superbe!!! Impressionnant de voir votre scène de rue prendre vie peu à peu sous la magie de vos pinceaux... Merci et bonne soirée!

[@noni7796]

Wow.... I honestly didn't think I could do this painting and make it look half way decent. Thank you for sharing your teaching talents with the world and helping this gal from Idaho watch, paint and grow along with ya. I look forward to Wednesdays to see what Paul will be painting this week! My family knows your voice and my little kids think I know you personally because you are always on my tv or computer.... lol. Tell Margo I also love the Fbook group and challenges. I have grown so much as an artist this year with the both of you motivating and encouraging us all to "give it a go''. Please, keep them coming. Thanks Paul!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks Nona - that's are lovely comment!

[@annangel4828]

Hello Paul Clark! (1 month later) I do like to report back when I'm pleased with the result. I finished it tonight and it's not bad. I've learned to take my time and leave it alone and return with fresh eyes. Even the cars and figures look o.k.! Thank you, P.C. I so enjoy your channel!

[@patricias9718]

Bonjour Paul toujours aussi beaux merci beaucoup j'adore 🖼️🖌️

[@DecoLemon]

Beautiful illustration. The lighting is superb. I'd call it a mixed media painting with the gouache, pen, and pastel pencil, but that only matters if you plan to sell the work. Thanks for demonstrating a cityscape!

[@melissaschneider5604]

Another lovely tutorial, Paul! I must admit, I’m a little intimidated by this one, but I’m going to “give it a go”, as you say! Thank you so much! I love Wednesdays!

[@Eovielle]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us Paul. Your posts on Wednesdays are the highlight of my day and you keep me inspired to keep going and try to get better. I'm already waiting for your next video! 💖

[@gemmatait4157]

Splendida scena notturna Grazie e complimenti Paul

[@laurabravo7248]

Magnific! Now that suddenly night falls so soon this painting is ideal for the atmosphere that is breathed these days. I also love in all your tutorials the moment of “final details”… Et voila! They definitely work their magic! Thanks a mil 🙏

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks Laura as always!!

[@joannethomas361]

Cityscapes frighten the life out of me but you make it look so easy! Thank you for a fantastic tutorial, I shall try to summon up the courage to have a go!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You can do it!

[@stratshadow]

Brilliant!......Lovely demo. I feel I should try this one out next.....take care!

[@manonrheault5900]

Amazing Paul 🤩🙏🙏🙏 Thank you thank you thank you You are the best this scène is so pretty make me think about à voyage we did in Italie And by the way your cars look great👌

[@2011Howler]

Wonderful tutorial! It was so helpful to see the night scene broken down into bite sized pieces. Thank you!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome!

[@cathyriach1285]

Thank you so much for these tutorials! They really make Wednesdays special :)

[@jennifergateau2212]

Wahouuu , oh lala le niveau est de plus en plus élevé, je vais tenter de le réaliser.. merci Paul...c est tjrs un plaisir de découvrir vos peintures chaque mercredi 😁

[@cynicole1860]

Yesss. We need more cityscapes from you! I've tried the rainy one a few times. Still have the line drawing, actually! My fave tutorial of yours was the Italian village where we only had an hour!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

More to come!

[@ombrettaugolini1367]

Fantastico come sempre! Chissà un giorno verrai da noi per un po' di pittura dal vero con la tua scuola! A presto!!

[@julielevasseur7391]

A mixture of talent and technique. Very helpful watch and wonderful results.

[@joopterlinde624]

Thank you, Paul. I like this one a lot. It's painted a kind of "loose" and the atmosphere is great. I wil give it a try! 😀

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Have fun!

[@michaelduxbury3525]

Absolutely brilliant, even just dropping those little highlights in just the right places, you make it look so easy and inspiring. Thanks again for yet another awesome tutorial

[@mariannefransioli4397]

J'apprécie toujours vos vidéos, mais ce que je PRÉFÈRE ce sont vos T-shirts ! Bravo pour votre sens de l'humour !

[@classicrocker1487]

Thank you so much Paul ! I have learnt so much from your tutorials! Wishing you all the joy and happiness in life. ❤

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Same to you!

[@brendalittleton8246]

You create a tangible atmosphere in your paintings. I really enjoyed this one. Thank you. Andy

[@SlySkippy15]

I’m going to try this one. I love Cityscapes. I appreciate the templates because I can’t draw.

[@Diego_SanCA]

Your painting is very motivational. When I feel like I am in a rut I can watch your painting and get excited about my next work. Thank you.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@vinitashrotri9238]

Love you and your videos. Wednesday is special because of you.

[@vickiarn]

Beautiful painting. Love the looseness of it and the light. It's a bit complicated for me, but I learned a lot, and maybe one day, I'll give it a go. Thanks

[@deborahgoodwin3426]

Another Wonderful Wednesday and your magical rendition of an evening cityscape! I really look forward to giving this one a go as I truly enjoy working on any projects that involve lots of perspective. The great challenges for me will be making the vehicles and the figures as realistic as yours. If I can only come close to showing the soft glow of the city lights as beautifully as you have, I will be a very, very happy old gal! 👩‍🦳🖌️

[@rebeccap.simmons4244]

This reminds me of the Florentine street scenes in the Netflix series “From Scratch”. I spent a fun afternoon immersing myself in this beautiful painting.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Cheers - I'll have to check that out!!!

[@veroklassmann654]

Your cityscapes are stunning. I love them. Wonderful to watch how the scene comes to life.

[@cavasodyssey8077]

This looks too amazing ! I'm gonna try it .

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hope you enjoy

[@chiarasola826]

Beautiful ! The final touches with gouache made the painting really come to life 🤩

[@lindaking9222]

Excellent Paul…running out of superlatives for your paintings….thanks for sharing your artistic talent

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Micky-74-v6f]

fantastic painting Paul!

[@anshukashyap7837]

Great job Paul, thanks for sharing 👍

[@bettygalanter4417]

Thank you Paul. I love watching how you make the painting come alive. I remain in awe of your layering technique and detail of brushstrokes creating that non-detail look I aspire to attain. God Bless!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@auraservent7282]

Beautiful night, lights and shadows!! Thank you Paul!!😊

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are very welcome

[@MaxfieldMini]

How awesome that you mentioned Liron! He is the nicest guy. I emailed him that I'm photographer & have a clear high resolution photo of my purple Mini Cooper if he was interested in painting it & he said YES! "Maxfiled" (Parrish) the Mini is his #9 painting 😁 Paul, you are the highlight to my HumpDay 😉 Great work as always 🇺🇲❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️🇬🇧

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Sounds great! ... by coincidence, I also used to have a purple Mini Cooper!!!

[@MaxfieldMini]

@@ArtbyPaulClark How cool indeed! The color is called Black-Eyed Purple so it looks both purple & blue. It's a 2005 & I absolutely love it! What year was yours & did you name it? 🚙

[@pokey3010]

😀Awesome. amazing and excellent as always.. Thank you

[@Imma_rose2]

I painted you last rainy city scape and all who saw it just loved it. So glad you shared your instruct and talent for another city street screen! Your so generous-thank you!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear - thanks!

[@pearl4277]

This painting is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure 😊

[@christinebaehr1953]

Wow. I love how it all comes together! Just brilliant! Thank you!

[@almutames7608]

Wow, this one was really challenging! It looked so easy going when you painted this night scene. Then I tried to follow your steps...bang...easy? No way 😀Great tutorial, thank you!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Lol! - thanks!

[@kayemasco6022]

A challenge. A lot of fun. Learned so much, as always. Thank you, Paul!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure Kaye!

[@tamra9124]

This was an awesome tutorial. I have such a difficult time with perspective that it's almost comical! You gave great tips and explanations. I still think you're the best water color artist I've ever seen, and the best on KZbin! Like you, I have a little drinkie-poo waiting for drying :) Thank you Paul!!

[@nancywhite2014]

It’s amazing how a few subtle brush strokes create suggestive details. As impressive as always Mr. Clark. Thanks for sharing another beautiful tutorial. 😊❤🎨

[@bahiretangul6698]

👍👍my favourite part is car headlights hitting the figure’s arm :)

[@adelabadova3105]

Wow, cool! An amazing masterpiece, you are a genius Paul and a magician! How I love to draw such pictures, where autumn, night, city, wet asphalt, neon advertising, puddles .... Such work is very much appreciated at the exhibition and auction! Smart and great talent! Your picture is saturated with an abundance of many elements and details: people, cars, lights, steps, windows .... I want to look endlessly at this nightlife and it looks like a living thing, the picture looks great! The color contrast is especially emphasized, in a combination of bright yellow and black! Paul you are a master of painting, I really respect you and your talent! Now I want to take brushes and paints and immediately draw the same picture as yours! ♥️👍👍👍👍🖼️🖼️🖼️🎨🎨🎨👩‍🎨👩‍🎨👩‍🎨

[@debbiemarchant3261]

Absolutely amazing, a bit beyond my abilities at the moment but love watching you paint

[@cozicoops]

Wonderful picture Paul as always.. a pleasure to enjoy your company too x

Just stunning Paul… the contrast of the dark car & figures is exquisite… The pastel pencil & white gouache -- perfection… i love night scenes like this. Please do more. Nice shoutout to Liron …he is very good. Always good to uplift our fellow artists.

Großartig erklärt. Und auch wenn ich nicht so gut englisch spreche, verstehe ich dich sehr gut. Danke für deine deutliche Aussprache und das du nicht zu schnell sprichst🙂 Schaue deine Videos deshalb sehr gern. Und ganz nebenei verbessere ich damit nicht nur meine Aquarellmalerei, sondern auch mein englisch. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland. Maren

Many thanks Karen!

Awesome! Loved how you brought in the light flares in layers! Thanks Paul.

Such a beautiful nightscape in the city lesson, thank you Paul. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll be giving it a go soon!

A great project to practice on before I attempt my own cityscape. I appreciate this!

[@RachelToman-g5c]

Wonderfully fun piece. I really enjoyed doing this. Can't thank you enough for making these tutorials available. Am learning so many wonderful techniques. 😀
