After working on this painting for about two and a half months, I'm finally in the very last stages! Below are my final "in progress" photos, as I finished up this three-piece acrylic painting on canvas.
And now the triptych is finished! Check back soon for another blog post, featuring pictures of the finished set of three canvases!
Adding in layers of dark green, dark blue-green, and lighter brownish-green for the silhouetted bushes along the bottom. |
Close up of some of the ground-colored paint (while it was still wet and particularly shiny). |
Dark bushes in silhouette. Once the first layer is dry, I'll add a bit more dimension. |
Adding in glowing street lamps along the bottom, and some foliage details. |
I used looser brushstrokes for the bushes, just as I did the background sky. |
The looser brushstrokes give the bushes a more abstract look than the crisp lines of the architecture. |
I added some glowing red lights to the tops of some of the skyscrapers, to match the street lamps along the bottom. |
More glowing red/white lights. |
And now the triptych is finished! Check back soon for another blog post, featuring pictures of the finished set of three canvases!
