Skyline Red Pen & Ink Key Points:

  1. Have all of you art supplies in order and extra stocks of it.
  2. Study the movement of the water.
  3. Watch the time of day and calculate the time for the angle of the sun.

Regarding the angle of the sun, which is very important, be sure to have the rays of light working with you and on the subject. Do not have the subject in shadows. It is amazing how often I encounter artist drawing their subject in the shade. Much of the time this was due to poor calculation of time, for as the day passes the sun moves and soon they find that their subject is in the shade. Make sure that you give yourself time!

In this red pen & ink drawing I have made use of the suns rays which in this drawing are coming in from behind me over and to the right. The shade of the buildings in the back ground reflect this.

I am very please with my handling of the motion of the water. When you look at the center you can see how the strokes of ink have dissipated. Keep in mind that loose following lines work better for you on water than cross hatching. Hatching is best utilized in places such as under the trees on the shore line.

All in all the clarity of line work in the drawing is very good and has rendered the landscape of Piedmont Park admirably.

Skyline Red Pen & Ink Drawing Key Points:

  1. Have all of your art supplies ready and at hand.
  2. Position yourself far enough from the lake to gain a full perspective of the site.
  3. Study the relationship between the landscape and buildings that stand behind.

This is a very popular view of midtown Atlanta, as seen looking across Lake Clara Meer to the skyscrapers of midtown. The lake is a wonder element that give a nice reflection that I utilize in both my pen & ink and watercolors of it.

I have chosen red ink to bring out the warmth of the hot Atlanta summer. Since red is an intense color I have used it in such a manner so as to defuse it throughout the drawing. I have only made small and intense line work on the side of the buildings to convey shade and shadows.
