Step by Step Competition
Nocturne, Rome, Italy
Step by Step Competition, July-September 2022
I am grateful to everyone who took part in the competition.
​
My congratulations to all participants, finalists, and, of course, the winners!
WINNERS
Nocturne, or night landscape, is one of the most difficult challenges for a watercolor artist. And the most interesting one, too. In this course, we will go to Rome at night, and we will analyze the strategy and plan for building a night landscape step by step. Of course, you can apply the same rules to any nocturne... But the main thing is to make your watercolor not as a rigid and regimented project, but as a light jazz improvisation.
