Just finished this building rendering for a new client. Another restaurant - surprise!
I used Lyra Polycolors on Stonehenge paper. The size is about 10 x 14.
This one was a little tricky - photos from slightly different angles had to be knit together, and the color and shadows in all of them were different too, so I had to keep those simple and just concentrate on the 'bones' of the building itself. Often the shadow pattern really helps establish form and can give a piece some drama. This one at least had interesting foliage and the palm trees, so that spiced it up a bit.
And the client is happy, so I am too.
Its the first time I've used the Lyras, and I love them. They're similar to Polychromos, being oil-based, but not quite as hard. But they're harder than Prismacolors. And the colors are lovely. And they smell nice too (wood casings).
Its turned hot again, and I can't think. So that's all for today ~
This is lovely! I recognize some of those wonderful Lyra greens. I have a set of Lyras that I really like but don't use very often. My reasoning was that they were only available in sets but now I see that Dick Blick sells them open stock. I should get mine out again. They are pretty pencils too, aren't they.
ReplyDeleteI love the soft texture of your pencil renderings.
ReplyDeleteI admire your talent and your patience.
Really nice stucture for a resturtant.
