Atlanta will always hold a deep place in my heart. When I do drawings of here it is as though I hear her calling to me. I have the same feelings with I think of Japan, as I had served there when I was a young man.

This drawing has all the characteristics of a pen & ink drawing, that is, it has full body of line that firmly convey the buildings and the city block that they rest on. The scene does not look chaotic or crowded.

Atlanta Skyline Drawing Of Midtown At Piedmont Park #818. Key elements to this work of art are as follows.

  1. A firm grasp of you perspective with a solid knowledge of your horizon line.
  2. Possess supplies at hand ready for focused detailing.
  3. Have and good understanding of architecture and structural detailing.

This drawings shows the midtown portion of Atlanta at Piedmont Park. We are just by Lake Clara Meer but it cannot be seen in this rendering of the city.

The most complicated element of the drawing was the sloping landscape, this is because I had to draw the scene very accurately so as to keep the skyscrapers in the background look upright and straight, not as though they were sloped or off alignment. The drawing is a success! I am very please in how I captured the gentle slope down to Lake Clara Meer. I used soft horizontal strokes on the lawn the gentle let your eye move downward.

Atlanta Skyline Drawing Of Downtown At Night #013Z

Atlanta skyline #815A pencil cityscape drawing of downtown at night.

This article is about Atlanta Skyline #013Z drawing of downtown, which is for sale at discount with prints by artist Stephen F. Condren, BFA-SAIC, of Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery, offering JPEG & PDF scans. This article is about my Atlanta skyline drawing at night.

Atlanta Skyline Drawing Of Downtown At Night #815. When drawing such a theme it is wise to observe the following:

  1. Clear understand the line differentiation between the evening sky and the structures below.
  2. Have a clear grasp of the perspective, since it is dark and you need to understand the position of the structures to each other.
  3. Have all of your supplies on hand.

This drawing of downtown Atlanta, Georgia, has always been pleasing to me. It is one of those drawings where everything goes just right. The tone of the shadows of the evening sky gently compliments the contour lines of the buildings. When shadowing the sky, care must be taken as not to darken the sky too much especially near the edge of the building, because once you darken you cannot take back the strokes.

Always keep delineation in mind and you draw the contour otherwise you will make the skyline look flat. Shade and shadows are crucial in any skyline drawing due to the fact that perspective is never utilized.

Skyline Drawing Of Piedmont Park Points

  1. Have all art supplies ready at hand.
  2. Choose a segment of the cityscape that you like and focus on it.
  3. Be alert to any obstacles that will affect the rendering.

Atlanta has always been one of my favorite cities because she is beautiful and has so much to offer. In this view I have chose the midtown view at Piedmont Park overlooking Lake Cara Meer.

Pencil unlike pen & ink always the artist to give a full range of tone to the drawing by using subtle degrees of shade and shadow to make the image. This is what I have done in this drawing. To the right side of the main boathouse you can see a smaller structure with a hip roof to the right. I have darken gradually the eaves and sides of the building so as to differentiate it from the trees. In the same manner I have shaded the central block of the main building to give it a sense of presence in the drawing.

The towering skyscrapers in the background make a wonderful support to this fine cityscape drawing.

Atlanta Skyline Oil Painting Of Downtown At Night #011Z

Atlanta skyline oil #2878A cityscape painting of downtown at nighttime with crimson sky.

This article is about Atlanta skyline #011Z oil night downtown, which is for sale at discount with prints by artist Stephen F. Condren, BFA-SAIC, of Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery, offering JPEG & PDF scans. This article is about my oil painting of the skyline of Atlanta, Georgia.

Skyline Oil Painting Of Downtown Key Points:

  1. Deep rich red night sky.
  2. Glowing yellow lights.
  3. Deep maroon foreground.

Since most all cityscapes and skyline are flat by nature I employed the above elements to give a three dimensional look to the painting. As you can see this use of the above elements really works. Lighting is the key to success in the painting for it beautifully weaves it’s way through both the darker tones in the foreground and the night sky above. The light seamlessly weave itself into the fabric of the painting. Atlanta, Georgia, is often referred to the as the “Manhattan of the south”.
