Cityscape - Palette knife - Amsterdam study oil painting

In this tutorial you will learn how to paint a cityscape of Amsterdam with oils and a palette knife. This adorable city has its own character, especially in the rain! The personality of Amsterdam is in cute houses, always hurrying people, umbrellas and canals. This cityscape was invented while I was painting the place, then I came home and made this tutorial from my memories and impressions.

We will find relations of colors in this scene. Relations are a very important thing in fine art.

Once you are beginning to paint any scene, you have to find the main three - four shades that define your painting color scheme, mood and the final image of your artwork.

We find out how to correct our painting if something went wrong.

Sometimes you need to change something in your artwork, it is so easy when you are creating with a palette knife! You only need to know some tricks to take away the wrong stains and apply the new ones.

We will apply details to windows, boats, people loose and quickly.

Details are a very important part of the painting; they make your artwork look lively. But how to apply them on the thick layer of paint? You will know that in this tutorial.
