Chicago Skyline Impressionist Watercolor Painting At Dusk #626. Key elements of the work of art are as follows.
- 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.
