Watercolor Demo - Lightened Distant building

Tips:

Sky in the evening is not so shinny as the eyes tend to believe.

To make a lightened building shine, apply just a thin layer of wash, and make its surroundings dull.

Work out the overall tone of the entire painting before going into small details; it helps build the atmosphere.
