In this 3 hour long video you'll see the painting process of this city scene. Let me note that this is not a step by step tutorial, but an insight into my thought/painting process. It's quite messy and I have made some turns and changed some things during the process. I didn't have a clear plan when getting started, perhaps you'll have a more clear idea about your own city scene after watching this  😉 

I have attached the reference images I used, the swatches and some brushes. You can download my working file through this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-Ax-seQ-Gxcko3joT7i3vxERVHLMRkRY/view?usp=sharing

The reference photo is a Shutterstock photo, feel free to use it for practice purposes (you just can't use it for commercial purposes like selling prints ;))

I'm sorry, I forgot to add that one, it's attached to the post now :)

Love your painting and it is truly inspirational for me to watch and listen. Your process makes me understand better how it is done. I seem to have had a subconscious false believe that every paint stroke counted and had to be the last one…. Yeah, I know….. 👎 Isn’t your process of building shapes and colours to give us a great impression of New York real art? And you are just as mesmerizing as Bob Ross with a sweeter voice. 😍

For some reason, your canvas in the video looks pinkish, I have found that in your recent couple of videos. not a huge deal for me, but thought you might want to be aware of it. And of course, always love and appreciate your art! :)

Art with Flo

Thank you so much Claude, that is so kind of you to say :)

Art with Flo

Thanks! It looks pretty close to white on my screen

Hi Flo! What an amazing artwork! Where can we get your working PSD file? :)

Art with Flo

Hi Flo When I try to download the brushes it says no content

Art with Flo

That’s strange, have you tried using Chrome browser?

Ibrahim Habib

i was able to download the brushes. Thanks...

Ibrahim Habib

I have to admit I don’t know how the psd file will help me if I’m not using photoshop. I also didn’t see it to down load

The lights on the Empire State change colors according to season, and it become extremely pretty on starry nights with the three bridges laced with lights like pearls.

Ibrahim Habib

The Christ red and green lights are so pretty on dark nights so is the blue and red colors. I was wandering if these different color schemes be done with couple of layers for each scheme/occasion.

Wei Chen

Can we have the sketch it brush? :)

Art with Flo

The psd file can be opened in Procreate, it contains all the layers

Art with Flo

That could definitely be done, especially when you work less messy than I 😅

Art with Flo

The Sketch it brush is part of the Illustration brush set, all Master Students get it. A good replacement is the soft pastel or oil pastel under sketching, you can use those at a small size for sketching or at a bigger size for more texture.

I really enjoyed this video. It is helpful to see experimental work, how you try things, problem solve, and make incremental changes. I also really like being reminded of the selection and color dodge techniques and how we can be brave and try things in our work. Thanks for sharing. I love the chalk brush set.

Wei Chen

Hi Flo, you turned on the drawing assist when drawing windows on the building on the front. what was assisted? I dont feel assisted 😂

Wei Chen

NVM 🤣🤣🤣 I got it!

Celeste

I gave up after you went to the screen... for me it is still all very new and trying to learn every day. Still watched the whole video. Looking how you do it...is learning too. So thank you and maybe later I will give It a try again... your Empire painting came out beautiful...
