What colour do you think of for night? Chances are it's black! But, things aren't just black at night... |
|
|
|

Here, Neil's painting a blue sky that gets darker towards the edges.. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and adding in a moon. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now he's adding in some darker clouds... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and highlighting the edges of the clouds that face the moon with white. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, a silvery-blue sea... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and some more white for the reflection of the moon in the water. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The land in the distance is quite faded, so he's adding that in a dark grey. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The buildings in the foreground have light blue rooves, where the moon catches them. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Neil's using grey for silhouetted buildings... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and a grey-green mix for fields in the foreground. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, a few lights in the distance... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and a few in the buildings. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
And there it is - not just black at night! Next time you're out after dark, have a look around you, and see what colours you can see! Try it yourself! |
