Thanks! Great commentary and instruction too.

I thought it's impossible to paint night scenes with water colour, but u made me believe that it's not just possible it can turn out to be amazing!! Would love to see more of night scenes from u🤍

Very nicely done, Scott. I've recently begun an online course with Spanish artist Fernando Moya. He seems to have a similar approach to you in this type of painting. He loves using Neutral Tint, he pretty much mixes it with everything. My first two projects on the course involved this simplified approach, being focused on tonal value and creating atmosphere. It really works well, as does your stunning example here. Subscribed in a flash!

Je prépare une scène nocturne urbaine, homme descendant un escalier dans un quartier médiéval de Chartres. Ce tuto m'a appris cette technique de tout noircir au début avec un gros tampon de papier et de progresser ensuite au pinceau par effacements pour redonner de la lumière et par additions pour préciser et assombrir puis finir par du blanc de titane opaque pour certaines petites touches de lumière.

[@scotmhead]

J'espère que votre peinture progresse bien ou que vous avez déjà terminé un chef-d'œuvre. Merci d'avoir regardé ma vidéo.

[@barrymoore7445]

Scott this is so good. Is there anyway at all you could post this video not sped up? I want to try it Thanks, Barry

[@scotmhead]

Wish I could but I no longer have the source file. I'll be slowing down future videos (and they will eventually start coming again, I plan to make more)

[@ongfrrr3725]

[@scotmhead]

No, just watercolor paint and a little gouache for highlights.
