This is my first watercolor after going through a bit of the material in this course. I'm not usually one for painting landscapes and cityscapes but because it's how Liron demonstrated most of his techniques so far, I thought I'd give it a go. Things I'm surprised worked pretty well: - The silhouette of the tree on the left and the shrubbery on the right. Done with wet-on-wet techniques and I almost always mess up on wet-on-wet. - I tried to do the cars the way I saw Liron do it in his demos and, while they're not the most technically-accurate cars, I'm glad the figures read as cars. - The building is not so technically-accurate either but it "reads". For a quick job (this was, overall, at most 2h, including drying), I'm pretty satisfied. Things that didn't work so well: - I didn't catch the dusky feeling of my reference very well. Part of that is because those greenish streaks at the left half receding into the vanishing point are supposed to be streetlights but I had to "oil paint" them in because I forgot to consider them in my initial wash. - Part of the feel is also due to my digitalization process (PhotoScan from my phone). It washed out the colors more than they already are. Maybe I'll try with just the camera app next.
