Watercolor is a great medium to capture the essence of anything beautiful.
Its fluidity allows you to express atmosphere and emotion with just a few brushstrokes.
It’s spontaneous and — despite what some may think — can even be forgiving.
But watercolor can become challenging when you’re trying to capture the complexity of a cityscape.
Suddenly, there are buildings with precise angles...
Windows stacked in perfect rows...
Shadows that dance across cobblestone streets...
And a thousand tiny details screaming for your attention.
Most artists freeze.
They either skip the drawing stage and hope the watercolor will save them…
Or they get so caught up in architectural accuracy that their painting loses all life and spontaneity.
Master watercolorist Amit Kapoor lives by a different philosophy.
With a style often described as “Classical Impressionism,” Amit has a simple 3-layer step-by-step system that achieves accuracy while keeping the fun and freedom of a flowing medium.
In this brand new course, Amit reveals his complete system for transforming complicated cityscapes into luminous watercolor paintings.
By the end of this course, you’ll learn how to:
» Start simplifying even the most complex cityscapes with confidence
» Create fresh, luminous colors that glow with light so your paintings never turn muddy
» Use thumbnail layouts to plan your composition BEFORE you paint — saving time, paper, and frustration
» Capture dramatic light and shadow in urban scenes using Amit’s signature “classical impressionist” approach
This is your chance to learn from Amit and paint cityscapes that radiate luminous light, architectural drama, and emotional depth.
Amit Kapoor is a leading master of watercolor with a style that radiates luminous light and classical impressionist beauty.
His journey into art began during his school days in New Delhi, where he found joy in sketching while other students buried themselves in textbooks.
What sets Amit apart is his unique fusion of artistic training and animation expertise.
Early in his career, he worked in an animation studio where he created more than a thousand drawings a day — a rigorous discipline that gave him exceptional drawing skills and a deep understanding of light, shadow, and composition.
In 2001, Amit started his own animation production house and founded Anitoons, the School of Art & Animation, where he dedicated himself to nurturing artists.
As his journey of teaching and painting continued, Amit developed a reputation in the international watercolor community.
Today, his work is exhibited across the globe, and he has held over 600 exhibitions.
He’s also the only Indian artist ever to receive the prestigious Silver Star Award from the National Watercolor Society, U.S.A.
He serves as Vice President of the International Watercolor Society Global and is the founder of the Watercolour Society of India.
Beyond his own art, Amit is an inspiring mentor who teaches with warmth and enthusiasm, speaking to his students as if they’re right there in the room with him.
This is your chance to learn directly from Amit and discover his signature “classical impressionist” approach to watercolor cityscapes.

Introduction
Amit begins by welcoming you into his studio. You’ll get a glimpse into his remarkable journey — from animator creating more than a thousand drawings a day to becoming an internationally recognized watercolor master. He introduces the beautiful subject for this demo: a bustling street corner in Madrid, Spain — a scene that might seem overwhelming at first, but you’ll learn to simplify with confidence.
Materials
In this chapter, Amit reviews the materials he uses to paint his stunning watercolor cityscapes. You’ll also discover why the surface you choose is the most important part of painting, even more than the colors and brushes. As Amit jokes, “Ignore my shabby palette, and just look at these beautiful paints” — he discusses the WHY and usefulness behind each color and brush, making it easy to understand their purpose and how they’ll help you succeed.
Thumbnail Layout
Here’s where Amit reveals one of his most powerful secrets: the importance of thumbnail layouts BEFORE you paint. As he explains this, he creates a thumbnail layout sketch of his Madrid reference photo using simple pencil and paper. You’ll learn how making a thumbnail shows you what’s working (and what’s not) in your composition before you commit to expensive watercolor paper.
The Drawing
For Amit, drawing is one of the most important parts of painting. This is the foundation that separates weak paintings from masterpieces. In this chapter, he’ll show you exactly how to make a drawing on your watercolor paper. You’ll discover why skipping this stage is the biggest mistake most watercolor artists make — and how Amit’s animation background taught him that great drawing creates great paintings every single time.
First Wash
Amit applies his first layers of color to set the tone for this sunny, bustling cityscape.
You’ll learn to boldly lay in big shapes with a big brush, paint around your whitest whites to preserve dramatic sunlight, and discover how to remove paint if it goes where you don’t want it. Plus, Amit reveals how to create fresh color — even if it’s gray — so your paintings glow instead of turning muddy. He encourages you to splatter and play with color at this stage, enjoying the process of painting without worry. You’ll also learn how to remove extra water from your painted areas so you don’t get blooms or blossoms, and discover how to create texture without actually painting it!
Set the Stage
In this chapter, you’ll develop the midground elements of the painting — giving form, texture, and depth as you “fill in the darks.” Amit introduces one of his most powerful techniques: using granulating pigments to create beautiful, natural texture on the classical Madrid buildings — without doing anything other than letting the paint flow. You’ll learn how to paint around your whites and lighter areas to preserve space for future details like sculptural flourishes, and discover how to create colorful shadows that feel luminous rather than flat and lifeless. The process of filling in the darks of a cityscape may be slow — but as Amit reminds you, just keep your eyes open and let the beautiful pigment do the work.
Add Life & Final Details
In this final chapter, Amit brings everything together — adding life, movement, and energy that completes the transformation from blank paper to a luminous Madrid street scene. You’ll develop the foreground elements of the painting, and add the sky and final details that give this bustling cityscape its soul. Amit demonstrates his techniques for painting moving water in the fountain — one of the most captivating elements of this sun-drenched Madrid scene. You’ll discover how charging color into wet washes harmonizes areas of the painting, creating a sense of cohesion and atmosphere that makes the whole scene feel unified. You’ll learn how to show movement and add Amit’s signature “noise” and birds for extra pop. By the end, you’ll have witnessed the complete transformation from blank paper to a luminous, light-filled cityscape that captures the drama, beauty, and energy of Madrid.
