Hello,
It is the third try that I did on the picture attached concerning the walls and I failed miserably.
Could someone explain or direct to a video that explains how to paint in watercolour this particular gradual tone on the wall? Is it a wet on wet? Do I have to have ready all the tones on my palette? How to apply the pigment etc.

I’d probably tint my paper initially with a light wash of say burnt Sienna and let this dry.
You’ll get a degree of cohesion throughout the painting.
Then apply a simple graduated wash on each of the turrets, which are relatively easy to achieve, and plenty of demo’s out there if you need help with them.
You only need one colour, so mix up the strongest tone and start from there, obviously turning your paper round so your wash runs vertically.

Well after Alan's advice (I used Transparent Sienna as this was what I had) and Paul Clark's and Luise De Masi Youtube channel this was what I best came up.
All my previous tries (which ended up as failures) where on trying the graded pigment from left to right on each of the extrusions of the wall. That is I have tried first some light colour and then graded to something more dark.
Thank you
