Watercolor cityscape. Narrow street in Barcelona.

Описание: In this video, we will paint a narrow street scene in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. In the previous video, I have demonstrated the value sketch for this painting, and now I will demo the colored version. It really helps to prepare a value sketch and think of your composition in advance.

Colors used: Indigo, Quinacridone Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Perylene Violet, Cobalt Blue.

Paint: I use a variety of watercolor paint brands (Daniel Smith, Holbein, M.Graham, Nevskaya Palitra) but all of them are professional watercolors. I used to buy student-grade paints but now I stay away from them as they contain a lot of additives and little pigment. When painting, I had to apply so much paint just to get any pigment out of them. Professional paints seem to be more economical.

Paper: Arches, rough texture. You may use any brand you like but, most importantly, use 100% cotton.

Brushes: I use a variety of brushes by different brands: Silver Brush, Chinese calligraphy brushes from Blue Heron Art and Michael Solovyev, squirrel brushes by Roubleff, synthetic by Escoda and Etchr, and a few other different brands. I think it is helpful to buy good quality brushes but most important is the time you spend with that brush.
