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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@Doodkapje]

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

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you too!

[@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!

[@pauline3379]

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

[@perryBartlett-uq4wr]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@manonsinclairladyofblairad9675]

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

[@pamgibbons2043]

👌Lovely memories of walking these streets in Florence .😍

[@grahamramsden3692]

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

[@lennartbjurstrom2548]

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

[@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

[@cherylwilliams42]

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

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@auraservent7282]

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

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are very welcome

[@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!

[@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)

[@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!

[@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...

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@Micky-74-v6f]

fantastic painting Paul!

[@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!

[@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! 💖

[@patricias9718]

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

[@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!!

[@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!

[@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!

[@InestoIris]

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

[@kayemasco6022]

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

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure Kaye!

[@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 😀

[@anshukashyap7837]

Great job Paul, thanks for sharing 👍

[@January-vf4nd]

I LOVE your rainy day tutorials!!! ❤

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you like them!

[@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!

[@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 😀

[@johnrestucci8269]

Thanks for the splendid tutorial!

[@pearl4277]

This painting is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure 😊

[@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

[@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. 🎨🖌🖼

[@cavasodyssey8077]

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

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hope you enjoy

[@Gynergy74]

Amazing. The lights are stunning. Thank you for your tutorials, Paul.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure

[@LisaZoe86]

Beautiful!

[@julielevasseur7391]

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

[@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! 👩‍🦳🖌️

[@veroklassmann654]

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

[@classicrocker1487]

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

[@ArtbyPaulClark]
