The Record Shop at Dusk

A record shop glows at dusk under a dark red awning. Records in bright covers stand in the window. Outside, the wet street shines in the lamplight. It's a good next step once you've painted a few. Your paint stays inside the lines, so each record cover stays neat and separate.

How to paint it

1. Choose Watercolour for a soft look or Oil for a bolder one. Paint the dusk sky lavender and the far town soft blue. Paint the trees on the left dark green.
2. Make the brush big and paint the brick wall red-brown. Add the shade by the awning with Darker. Paint the shop front and door blue-green.
3. Paint the awning dark red, with Darker in its folds. Paint the inside of the window pale gold. Add the shelves and books with Darker.
4. Paint the record covers red, blue and gold. Paint the records dark grey and their labels red or gold.
5. Paint the street grey, the pot orange-brown and the plants green. Add the lamp posts with the Pencil. Dab pale gold on the lamps and wet street with Gouache.
