Make a great picture of a city at night, by using different techniques.
You will need:- paper
- water
- paint
- a marker pen
 |  | | First, dampen the entire sheet of paper. |
|  | | Use watered down poster or watercolour paint to give it a really soft, atmospheric feel on the damp paper.
Use lighter colours towards the top, and slightly more purple towards the bottom. |
|  | | Before it dries completely, add in some wispy clouds in the sky. |
|  | | Another good technique is to take a bit of tissue paper and gently pad the clouds to pick a bit of the paint off, doing a little twist as you pad. |
|  | | Once the paper is completely dry, you can add in some shapes with thicker black paint. |
|  | | Once that’s dry, start to add in darker shading along the sides and edges of the buildings.
You can even add little hints of detail in the distance. |
|  | | When that’s dry, you can add in more detail with marker pens.
Use a thin pen to add in the fine details. For trees, just do very wispy branches. |
|  | | Add in a car in the foreground with a thicker marker pen. |
|  | | Finally, chalks and pastels are really brilliant for highlights and lights, and bring the picture to life.
Try it yourself! |
