Hello, friends! I continue to pass a mini course on urban watercolor landscape. Today I will show you my picture, which I finished a few days ago.
My daughter and I argue - in the picture the sunset or the sunrise? I painted, I thought it was sunset, but my daughter says it's sunrise. Why? Because at sunset the sky is more pink! And also in my drawing few people. She thinks it's early morning...well, logical...
What do you think?
During this mini-course I learned how to draw architecture in perspective. It's very exciting. I outlined liniyu the horizon and said to point. To this point should converge all parallel lines of buildings. There are two dots in the picture. One is where the sun is bright. The second to the left of the picture. I like that I know these rules, and my buildings are smooth and properly distant to the horizon.
I also like this work because I now know how to draw the bright sun.
I drew a sketch.
The next steps were difficult. I paint a gradient from the light (bright sun) to the dark sides of the buildings. It's really hard for a beginner watercolorist. I wanted to erase mistakes and cry. The paint did not go evenly, as I wanted.
If you notice, my whole drawing consists of sectors that converge to the sun. This is the road, right and left building. My task was to make uniform gradients paint on all these segments.
The first segment is the road. Gradient from light yellow to brown with purple. I painted the sky pale blue. It is almost not visible in the picture
Here I painted two buildings in the same colors of paint as the road. In the left building added more orange and red tones.
Then add details to the buildings and shadows. I wasn't trying to add much detail. It should only be small accents.
At the last stage, I paint people. The girl who crosses the road. It is illuminated by the sun, so the picture on the other side has a long shadow.
Here is a GIF of the process
I hope you enjoyed my work. Although I am a beginner, but I want to paint better and better with watercolor. And of course I will try to portray the sunlight! I like it very much
The drawing is made on the basis of MK https://doodleandsketch.com/lesson-334
