- Thanks JP.

- Ah ben merci bien Georges :)

- Thanks Anita. I wanted to try something different as I always draw things at eye level.

- Thanks Federico.

- Thanks Ellis, I will try on a bigger page to be able to draw even more of the scene in one go.

- Thanks Mike!

This is magnificent! I love the perspective -- buildings that look like children's blocks. All those angles and rectangles. It's wonderful.

Petrea Burchard said...

Terrific, Stef. I'm trying to figure out where you were sketching from. I like your iPod pieces but your sketches/watercolors amaze me.

Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful! I want more info though....how large is this piece? Is it completely traditional? Any digital enhancements?

Unknown said...

- Well, thank you very much Laurie :) I like the children's blocks allusion.

- Thanks Petrea :) Yes, I much prefer traditional media myself, much more fun and rewarding.
So I was at the top of the parking structure on the corner of Union and Fair Oaks.

- Merci Ry! the piece is 12X16, all traditional, pen, watercolour and gouache. You have to come over and take photos of me when I darw to send to my Mum, I want to look like a rock star :)

Really like the birds eye view. You have such a cool wiggly quality in your line work. The opaque and transparent application of the water color and guache are great!

Unknown said...

Thanks, I think it's 13X19, or slightly smaller.

You've a real way with colour Stephane - I can only learn! The shadow work is as interesting as the 'colour'. The perspective work is also highly skilled.
But you probably know that! welcome to USk too.

Unknown said...

Thanks Stupot! you're very kind.
