SC-S24W2: Paisajes: Cityscape

 

Hello dear Steemians

 

It is my Sunday painting, again due to my work and this week I had my long shifts Tuesday till Friday I was not able to take time for painting earlier. Anyhow, today is the day and I spend it with trying to capture the buildings in nice weather. This image is of our local place called Dysart. I remember when I saw first time this little path between the houses I thought it has everything that we, people who love drawing have. It is nice architecture and also a lantern that is installed on wall. It is a little unusual for modern architecture. We do not see that very often. Still we have so many old buildings and houses that just asking to be captured.

For my work I decided to take watercolour because this way we have the beauty of little historical places and watercolour makes it more interesting.

I thought about just a pencil work but both sky and plants in pencil or in black and white is very boring. So I hope you also agree with me and find my experiment attractive.

For my painting I used watercolour paper of weight 300gsm and it was a rough paper. My watercolour paints I used different kind of there was “White night” but also another one was that I recently bought “Van Gogh”.I thought to do in wet in wet but because it is a new technique for me I thought to use wet in wet for sky but wet on dry for the rest. That went well at the end and I will try in the future to practice more wet in wet with mixing colours on paper that gives impressive effects. I hope you like my painting that I done today at the last day of challenge.

 

My process of drawing

 

 

 

Simple sketch using pencil 2B
 

 

You can see that for sky I wet the whole paper that is why it is shining.

 

 

Light colours first as first layer.

 

 

This is the final result with my paints, brushes.

 

 

I would like to invite @m-fdo, @enamul17 and @artist1111 for this contest
