Chicago Skyline Paintings And Prints. Key elements of this work of art are as follows.
- Architecture

The Chicago skyline is something of a miracle that rose out of the ashes of the Great Chicago Fire in 1871. It is my interest, as an artist, to do paintings, watercolors, and prints of this great American city.
When doing a painting or drawing of any cityscape or skyline, keep the follow points in mind:
- Distance of subject.
- Lighting.
- Sufficient detail.
In this horrific event the entire center city was burn to the ground and hundreds of people were killed. The fire is one of the greatest tragedies of American History. However, with the vision of men like Potter Palmer and Marshall Field the city grew. Chicago was able to take up its vision of being a great metropolis and moved forward to build what was at the time the most modern city in the world.
