Meditation Series: (8/8) The Palladium (1989)

I had no clear idea of what I wanted to do in the final sketch of this series. The first thing that came to mind was the search lights, prominent in the Palladium mural. I thought of the magnifying glass effect and used it to amplify and diminish the name of the building. The half curtain […]

Today, I riffed on the Greek fellow holding back the curtains on the original mural (which may be seen in previous posts in this series: Palladium (3/8), Palladium (5/8)).

Meditation Series: (6/8) The Palladium (1989)

I emphasized the physical properties of the building in this sketch of The Palladium, which used to be on 14th Street in NYC. As opposed to stressing the mural in yesterday’s post. One can see the air conditioners and the openings for vents, rudely marring the mural’s surface. Please visit my Etsy shop for my artwork […]

Meditation Series: (3/8) The Palladium, NYC (1989)

Meditation Series: (2/8) The Palladium, NYC (1989)

Although my reference photograph is in black and white, I filled in some of the colors for the mural. I used a photo from the internet as a guide. It was a bit older than photo I used, since there were more air conditioners poking out of the mural in my version. Please visit my […]

I wish I had a shorter lens when I took the picture on which this sketch is based. I included all I could of this iconic building on 14th Street in NYC. If I could retake the photo, I would have included more details of the wonderful mural. Please visit my Etsy shop for my […]
