After meticulous sketching, i like doing a quick sketch. Using water soluble ink pens adds an element of unpredictability, when I dowse water in those areas.

This is a hybrid sketch: The exhaust duct and its shadow were rendered in black with a fine-tipped ink pen. The background is colored with watercolor paint.

Shadows are the focus of this, the third iteration of the original theme. I made them physical entities, forgetting to conform the shadow of the ducting to the contour of the wall and doorway behind it.

I took several reference photographs for this sketch. The black and white version works for the shadows, but the color (in real life) was the thing that made me snap the shutter.

This collection of sketches ranges in style from representational to abstract. The initial pen and ink sketch gathers the details of the architecture from the reference photography. Subsequent watercolors capture colors and lighting of that same photo. The final four drawings loosen the grip of reality and offer a different perspective on the original staid […]
Far from the original rectilinear sketch of a stately building in Bryant Park, this final variation anthropomorphizes the building into a character horrified by its surroundings. Only the trees are in sympathy. Please visit my Etsy shop for my artwork for sale inspired by my autistic brother Mike at: etsy.com/shop/AutismInspiredArt. My other artwork for sale […]
I went crazy on this one, warping the space and ignoring color conventions. I think it works, though. Please visit my Etsy shop for my artwork for sale inspired by my autistic brother Mike at: etsy.com/shop/AutismInspiredArt. My other artwork for sale is at: Etsy.com/shop/OtherArtbyJack
This variation of the original theme comes closest to representing the light reflected from the buildings across 34th Street. I like the loose construction, the colors and the dispersion of the water soluble inks.

I used water soluble pens on this version of my Bryant Park Building, except for the yellow color I applied, to represent the lighting. I like the feeling of sketching with a looser hand.

I tried a blondish background on this version. The reflected light from the 5th Avenue buildings across the street is still problematic.
