SC-S24W2: Paisajes: Cityscape
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.
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.
As I was asked about reference photo, I am attaching it here, it is my favourite fishermen village Dysart:
I would like to invite @m-fdo, @enamul17 and @artist1111 for this contest
¡Hola! Que gusto que te hayas animado a participar en el Steemit Challenge: Explora tu creatividad con el dibujo artístico, en su semana 2.
Observaciones y recomendaciones:
Realizaste un boceto sencillo que te permitió recrear un paisaje en el cual procederías a pintar con acuarelas.
Me alegra que te arriesgaras a utilizar una técnica diferente para este desafío, en el cual utilizaste tonos sutiles que te permitieron un resultado limpio, preciso y realista. Aunque cuentas que recién experimentas con la técnica de húmedo sobre húmedo, tus resultados del cielo fueron muy buenos y realistas. Un excelente trabajo.
Importante: Olvidaste colocar la selfie junto a tu dibujo.

Thank you for your analyses of my painting and you are right initial first layer is always important adn it is good to make it transparent. I am still a bit careful with that and still try to leave it a little lighter than darker. Watercolour is a beautiful medium and I am still in the exploration time. Who knows what surprises are waiting for us.
Greetings @stef1, amazed by your artistic watercolor drawing, it is a beautiful technique and of course it is faster to apply than colors, I think you just have to wait a little for it to dry, I have never actually painted with it, but I would like to. But I honestly liked the result a lot 🙂, even though I drew it today and under the conditions that were presented to it, in my opinion the result is magnificent, it leaves 🐾🐾🐾 in our memories.
Saludos @stef1, maravillada con su dibujo artístico en acuarela, es una técnica hermosa y claro es más rápida de aplicar que los colores, pienso que solo se debe esperar un poco a que seque, realmente nunca he pintado con ella, pero me gustaría hacerlo. Pero sinceramente me gustó mucho el resultado 🙂, aún cuando lo dibujo hoy mismo y bajo las condiciones que se le presentaron , a mí parecer el resultado es magnífico, deja 🐾🐾🐾 en nuestros recuerdos.
You did a great job by sharing it on your blogspot. I love the painting so much.
Thank you very much, it is indeed one of the interesting technique and usually requires a lot of practicing, there were many paintings that I have spoiled before. There are many tricks including good paper quality and of course, paints. I am really please to hear your nice comment!
Wow que dibujo tan lindo , muy buena la técnica utilizada, pintar con acuarelas parece fácil pero no lo es , su paso a paso muy bien detallado, felicidades.
Thank you Josh, Watercolour is one of the best medium for buildings and usually once a person had done few it becomes easier next time. I love it so still learning :)
Hola amiga @stef1 que hermosoooo y especial tu dibujo. Me encantan las acuarelas y ese paisaje que elegiste está lindo.
Todos los detalles bien realizado y los efectos de luz, sombras alcanzamos en tu dibujo.
Te deseo éxitos amiga.
Bendiciones
Thank you, yes, with watercolour the simple painting looks interesting you are absolutely right :)
Saludos @stef1, me gusta bastante su trabajo, como usaste los colores y como dejas fluir libremente la acuarela para producir trabajos visualmente agradables. Me gustaría bastante aprender a lograr ambientes como los que eres capaz de reproducir en tus obras, siento que lograsdejar fluir la acuarela con propósito (algo que nunca he podido hacer) y genuinamente cada que veo tu trabajo me deleito en lo que creas.
I am pretty sure you will be very good in watercolour, you have a good feeling when you do your drawing but also you are very accurate. I hope one day you will be able to try it too :)
Saludos @stef1, muchas gracias por su amable consejo.
Creo que tengo que vencer el miedo 😨.
Saludos amigo
Es usted un verdadero artista su dibujo le quedó hermoso
Felicidades
Thank you Yenny, I am really honoured to hear your nice words :)
Demasiado hermoso amiga. El arte y la hermosura van de la mano con este dibujo. Felicitaciones. Un abrazo.
Thank you very much I am really pleased to hear such words from you :)
This is mind blowing. @stef1 I knew you as an artist however you have shocked me with such a great masterpiece.
You're so good in controlling watercolors.
I love the painting. Wow!
Can you share the reference?
Thank you, glad you like it, the reference is here it is the little fishermen village Dysart:
Can I try my hands on it when I'm less busy?
The artwork is more beautiful than the reference.
