Architectural drawings are always a challenge for me.. I don't stick to rules and lines while painting and that first go well with this type.
Trying to capture the mood of a rainy day by the tower.
Sketch
The building was a bit thinner than the painting... It was wrong in sketch I knew that but went ahead with it.. to lazy to redraw
It was not going well.. started with too dark sky .. and then had to clean it up lift and it became patchy.. had to rework a lot to fix it.. forgot to take a pic during that stage.. finally started to look better when the tower was finished.
Added the palms and far away crowd.
Finished off with the birds and the figure.
