A new cityscape with watercolors, I used a reference picture I took last summer when we did a road trip from Vancouver to Drumheller and stopped in Calgary on the way. I used watercolors, watercolor crayons and gouache.
Here are some of the steps I took.

I start painting the buildings with washes. Here a gradated wash from blue to yellow where the light is hitting the building.

When using a color in a part of the painting, I try to use it in different places as well in the painting.

Now I will go over the picture, softening edges with water and a stiff brush and redefining over edges with watercolor crayons.

The paper is buckling even though I did stretch it. I take off drips I don't want with a tissue paper.
