New York Cityscape (Karin Jurick's DSDF challenge) - Day 5
Today I added a few more details and gave it a final touch as follows:
Added an imaginary red SUV in the middle to help flow of red.
Added a bit more blue tone to the distant buildings to create 'smoky' urban atmosphere.
Added another small traffic signal post and a lamppost.
And little more details on the buildings.
It was a really fun experience and many thanks to Karin Jurick for giving us this great opportunity to participate and share with others.
Here is the final painting.

Fantastic, Peter! Excellent work.
ReplyDeleteI've got a blog award for you on my site, Peter...
ReplyDeleteThis came out great - and as always I enjoy seeing your process. Thanks also for sharing "along the river" - I just watched it again with my daughter (who's from China) and she really loved it - we're always trying to keep her culture alive but don't know a lot, so this was really enjoyable on several levels!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the DSFDF challenge! You've captured that urban gritty feel N.Y. has.
ReplyDeleteGlad to meet another painter in the OC!
Great job Peter. I like how you simplified the cabs, yet got them to look real. Also appreciate seeing your proccess.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I love the grey, it really makes the yellow stand out.
ReplyDeleteVery nice final challenge , I like the window in the skyscraper they look like the light is hitting them, well done.
