Urban Landscape I
Urban Landscape I
Painting Landscapes is something relatively new for me, although I have tried it in some oil paintings, I had never painted a landscape with colored pencils. Personally, I am a fan of the paintings of Urban Landscapes, which represent cities around the world, these works make me feel as if I traveled the world, that type of paintings transport you to magnificent places, and the best way to do justice to that feeling was replicating a beautiful work in oil that I found here on Pinterest, this little work is done in a smaller format than I'm used to, however it seems to me a quite comfortable format, without more, here the process.
The Process
To begin, I made the sketch with a 2H pencil, without many details since the intention was to give shape to the work with colors, I started painting the building on the left, with colors Siena, Yellow, Gray, Black, Orange, White, Terracotta and Blue, trying to give that characteristic essence of the oil paintings, some areas of the walls had a slight touch of blue in the areas of illuminations.
Illuminations and reflections are the details that I like most in this type of work, that's why the paintings of Urban Landscapes are so beautiful, this kind of details are a bit complicated to work with, and more if you use Pencils of colors. In This work reflects a rainy afternoon in a city, wet streets reflect the lights of buildings, cars and street lighting, besides some shadows.
The Latest Details
To finish, I painted the last areas of strong lighting in the center of the work, with White, Cream and Yellow, then continued with the buildings on the right which contained less detail, and to finish the cars on the right and the respective reflections on the road accompanied by some shadows to highlight the colors.

Beautiful art work. I'm not an artist, but it's said that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. This is beautiful.

I like your approach to drawing far away places,
A professor adviced me once to copy essays or stories by celebrated writers as a way to practice rhetorical strategies and style. A sort of mimmicking that works as a choreaography to "learn the steps".
You did a great job capturing the atmosphere. We can almost feel the temperature and the humidity of the place.
Thanks!!!
