Paint a city scene full of light and energy with this video workshop! 

Thomas Schaller will demonstrate how to simplify a complex composition into shapes and three values: lights, mid-tones, and darks. Begin this lesson with preliminary sketching necessary to distill the painting down to the essentials. Then watch and paint along as Thomas works light to darks while saving the whites, establishing focal points, architecture, and figures. Finally, add the darkest darks and tie the painting together with finishing touches.

In Capturing Light in Watercolor: How to Paint Cities you will find:

• A start to finish watercolor demonstration on painting city scenes
• Lessons on painting techniques for color mixing, working wet-into-wet, splattering, edgework, brushstrokes, and more
• Techniques for creating a strong composition without getting overwhelmed by details of each building
