Atlanta Skyline Watercolor Key Elements:
- Watercolor
- Landscape
- Pen & Ink
Midtown Atlanta, is located adjacent Piedmont Park and inside the park is the love lagoon name Lake Clara Meer. The setting of this park and lake make for a wonderful vista to paint your cityscape. Common views of midtown, Atlanta are seen looking across Lake Clara Meer. There is no doubt that this is a quiet and tranquil setting which makes for a great juxtaposition with the hustle and bustle of the vast city of Atlanta!
I have chosen to make this watercolor from the lawns leading down to the lake, which cannot be seen here. Resting upon the grove of trees stand the towering skyscrapers that make midtown Atlanta so famous. I have made the skyscrapers the dominant element in the watercolor and used just the tops of the trees for the buildings to rest on. I am very pleased with the result for the buildings actually compliment the landscape rather than crush it.
