Light
Water
Delineation
This is one of my favorite watercolor of Chicago, because it is at sunset. The sunsets in Chicago are wonderful, because the colors of the setting sun are reflected in Lake Michigan. The tall building which make up the famous Chicago skyline add to the drama of the watercolor, because their image is shadowed in the sunset.

Light
Color
Water
Light: The lighting is crucial in this watercolor as it is seen in both the sky and the water, thus straddling the skyline in between.
Color: The time of day is sunset and the heat of the setting sun is reflected in the strong yellow hues atop of the skyscrapers. As you look upward the heat from the sun dissipates into deeper reds and then finally move to a soft maroon.
Water: The water of Lake Michigan acts as a colossal mirror reflecting both the skyline and the sunset behind.

John Hancock Center
Sky
Color
John Hancock Center: The John Hancock Center along with Water Tower Place stand at the center of this watercolor. Their reflections are loosely seen in the waters of Lake Michigan below. The cluster of buildings that culminate with the John Hancock Center gently dissipate on both sides and vanish into the evening sky.
Sky: The majority of space in the painting is in the sky as the horizon line is very low to accommodate the tall buildings. The atmosphere is loose and calm as the clouds have vanished into the sky.
Color:Â The sky is a mixture of blues and red making a violet and purple backdrop to the cityscape.

John Hancock Center
Lake Shore Drive
Delineation
Chicago skyline #072Z
John Hancock Center: The John Hancock Center stands firmly at the center of this watercolor. In this watercolor I have chosen to include the famous “X” patterns from the exoskeleton which make the building so famous. The colors are many in this painting as I have included an array of earthen tones to compliment the landscape, water, and sky.
Lake Shore Drive:Lake Shore Drive is at our feet and the motorway portion to the immediate right which is off of the picture plane of the work of art. The dramatic use of shadows of the trees along the drive make an interesting path along Lake Michigan.
Delineation: The line work in this watercolor is all done with brush, there is no application of pen & ink employed here. I am most pleased with the execution of the exoskeleton of the John Hancock Center.

Chicago Skyline Watercolor Painting #430. Key elements to this work of art are as follows:
Color
Skyline
Lake Michigan
Color: The colors in this painting are based on green and variations of it. The dominance of the sea green at the base of the painting gives a strong and robust presence of the downtown skyline. The waters of Lake Michigan are a solid form to rest the eye upon and then look upward towards the towering skyscrapers.
Skyline: The skyline pictured here is looking west from Burnham Harbor. This is perhaps the most famous view of the city and certainly featured on many films and documentaries. In the skyline we can see the Willis Tower, Trump Tower, Aon Center, and John Hancock Center.
Lake Michigan: The support for this watercolor is from the strong green that is given to us here from Lake Michigan. Though the base tone of this sea green is fairly light, I have carefully worked deeper tones of it so as to support the visual impact of the skyline.

Night
Sun
Lake Michigan
Night: The evening sky is the calling card to the Chicago skyline painting. There is a mixture of reds and blues to make up the sky which are cast over the yellow hues that melt over the skyscrapers from the setting sun.
Sun: The sun light is the strongest element in the watercolor skyline of Chicago. Though it is a small thin band, it is very strong in tone and hue. The city skyline is clearly outlined in the sky above and in the waters below.
Lake Michigan: The waters of Lake Michigan add an extra dynamic to the painting as the night time sky is beautifully reflected in the water.

Chicago Skyline Watercolor Painting #427. Key elements to this work of art are as follows.
Color
Lake Michigan
Contour
Color: The dominate color in this watercolor is green strongly followed by blue. The tones of the colors are very light, almost pastel so as to let the contour lines of the skyscrapers show through. The line work is done with pen & ink.
Lake Michigan: The color of Lake Michigan is done in both green and blue in the lightest tones. The lighting from the sky in this scene did not let itself to reflecting the cityscape.
Contour: The contour lines done from pen & ink are bold and strong giving luster to this fine skyline painting. You can clearly see the Willis Tower, Trump Tower, and Aon Center.

Chicago Skyline Sunset Watercolor Painting #423. Key elements to this work of art art as follows:
Sunset
Colors
Lake Michigan
Sunset: The light of the sunset is the strongest element in the watercolor painting of downtown Chicago. The emphasis has been placed on the strong yellow tones emitting from behind the Chicago “Loop” near the Willis Tower. I have mixed white and various yellows to get this high level of intensity with worked out very well.
Colors: The colors in the painting are in the yellows family for the immediate sunset and then we move into browns and red when we move up into the sky above the sunset. The water is a soft green mixed with blue and yellow.
Lake Michigan: Though very small in proportion to the scale of the painting, the waters of Lake Michigan are crucial in supporting the skyline in the background.
