Evening Street Scene With Lee Wee Xian
Join renowned watercolour artist and educator Lee Wee Xian for a captivating workshop that explores the art of painting evening street scenes in the quiet transition from day to night. Discover how subtle light, deepening shadows, and shifting colour temperatures can transform an ordinary street into an atmospheric and evocative painting.
Through Lee’s signature techniques, you will learn how to capture mood, depth, and movement as daylight fades and artificial lights begin to define the urban landscape. The focus is on interpreting light and atmosphere rather than rendering every detail, allowing your work to feel both expressive and grounded.
What You'll Learn
Participants will explore how to build tonal values under low light conditions, control washes, and layer transparent colour to create depth and luminosity. You will learn to interpret street lighting, reflections, and contrast to suggest structure and space, while using simplified forms and selective detail to guide the viewer’s eye. The session also covers how to introduce figures and subtle movement to bring life and narrative into your scene.
This Workshop Is Ideal For
Artists of all levels interested in urban sketching and watercolour. It is suited for painters looking to explore atmospheric lighting, as well as those who want to bring more mood and storytelling into their work.
About The Subject
This theme focuses on urban streets at dusk, when natural light recedes and artificial illumination begins to shape the environment. Warm streetlights contrast with cooler ambient tones, creating reflections, silhouettes, and layered depth. Rather than relying on precise detail, the emphasis is on suggestion, fluid transitions, and expressive brushwork, allowing light to emerge naturally from shadow and capturing the quiet energy of the evening city.
