En route!

OIL ON BOARD 5"x7"
Here, I painted this cityscape for Studio notes , where Terry Miura asked us to use only 2 values at least at the beginning, ignore the details, choose one dominante color, avoid too numerous sharp edges.(This point was a little obscure for me).
I tried to follow this advice, chose french ultramarine as basic color.I had a black underpainting, as there was something else before.

  1. Well done, Sylviane. I like the way you cropped and simplified this image. Very good perspective and distance, and the colors are very pleasing. I like what you did!

  2. Super ta toile ! Tu semble avoir destructuré les immeubles par rapport aux voitures, qui donne de de la profondeur avec une vision globale de la scène. Bravo !
