Artificial light is not easy to capture convincingly in paint, particularly in watercolour, however, I’m pleased to say that this scene has worked well.
The key to painting Theatre Royal at night is keeping the palate simple and the colours clean and fresh in terms of application.
For this watercolour I used Yellow Ochre, Raw Sienna, Cadmium Yellow, Purple, Paynes Grey and French Ultramarine for most of the painting with touches of Scarlet Lake and Windsor Green for some of the details on the figures and traffic lights.
The original watercolour sold many years ago but I do have other original paintings of the Theatre Royal on view online and at my Studio & Gallery in Ponteland.

Newcastle Prints are always popular. Very few artists paint at night which is when most theatre lovers see it. Artificial light is not easy to capture convincingly in paint, particularly in watercolour. However, this scene has worked well. The key is keeping the palate simple and the colours clean and fresh in terms of application.
