How To Paint A Skyline

10 Amazing (and Easy!) Tutorials

Introduction

Skyline paintings can be some of the most beautiful and aesthetic pieces of art. But in order to ensure that they stand out, you need to do them perfectly. For me, painting a skyline wasn’t much of a difficult task. However, I felt my paintings were lacking depth, and I’ve heard many of you having the same complaint. In order to get to the bottom of why this was happening, and how to paint a skyline perfectly, I scoured through some tutorials regarding the matter, and have finally found the answers to my question. If you’re facing similar problems, I recommend you do what I did, and study these tutorials.

You can paint a skyline in three steps. In the first step, you decide on the time of the day, and the weather. In the next one, you draw or imagine a rough outline on your canvas. Finally, you work your way around that outline, and start painting. While painting, make sure you’re using proper shades and transitions, otherwise your painting will be far from being perfect.
