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.

Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing

Have all of your art supplies ready at hand.
Study the contour of the city skyscrapers.
Position yourself where you have the best vantage point to gain a full perspective of the site.

I am delighted to say that this pen & ink drawing has been my best selling print and I am honored that it is from the great and noble city of Atlanta, which I truly love.

This drawing of Atlanta is different than my others in that I have chosen to do just the simple outlines with complimenting details rather then a fully rendered skyline drawing. These skyline drawings can get overwhelmingly complex and detailed to the point of bewilderment. There is just way too much information in the sites to adequately render on paper, even photographs blur many of the site features!

Because I have chosen to do a simple line drawing it is more difficult to render because it leave no room for making mistakes ~ you can see everything. When drawing it is wise to have a drawing post or bar to lean your arm against so that you can make steady lines. You do not want you lines to be “ruler” straight but you do need to have the put down orderly so that they make sense when you see the finished drawing.

Atlanta Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing Of Downtown At Night #019Z

Atlanta skyline #824A pen & ink cityscape drawing is popular because of it's view of downtown at night.

This article is about Atlanta skyline #019Z pen & ink drawing at night, 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 pen & ink drawing of the downtown Atlanta, Georgia, skyline at night.

Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing Key Points:

Ware a sweater or jacket as it gets cool at night.
Bring all of your art supplies and keep them on hand.
Carefully study the night city lights as they are the key to getting the delineation of the structures which are obscured by darkness.

The difficult task at hand here is the competent rendering of the skyline at night. Due to the ease of making everything black you can ruin your work permanently. It is like comparing a Mozart symphony with a Wagnerian opera. In the Mozart symphony you have a clear and transparent score with a focus on the musical line. Whereas, with the Wagnerian opera you have so much going on in the score that it is easy to lose things in the chaos! The same holds true here, do not get “Wagnerian” and clutter you drawing with cross hatching but rather be more like Mozart and let the elegance of the line gently flow.

This article is about my pen & ink drawing of downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Prints & Scans Of This Pen & Ink Skyline Of Atlanta ~ #595Z ~ Order Here.

Pen & Ink Skyline Drawing Key Points:

Select a good site that offers a premium vista and perspective.
Have all of your art supplies ready and on hand.
Study the contour of the structures to grasp the delineation of the drawing.

When you are working with pen & ink you have to always keep in mind that you are working with a high contract substance which allows for great diversity in detailing due to the power of the line. But it is also good to keep in mind that ink is very unforgiving and so you much very accurately place your lines so that they do not muddle the drawing.

In the drawing I have take to full pleasure of the pen and I let the ink flow gently over the paper. I have made it a point not to be rigid and “Architectural” in my rendering but rather open and free to form but keeping the definition of the skyscrapers intact.

It is a fine thing to draw a skyline anyway that you like, however, if you want to yield a fine artistic rendering that bears your style then you much be true to the forms of the buildings that are before you otherwise you have a subjective abstraction.

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.

A firm grasp of you perspective with a solid knowledge of your horizon line.
Possess supplies at hand ready for focused detailing.
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:

Clear understand the line differentiation between the evening sky and the structures below.
Have a clear grasp of the perspective, since it is dark and you need to understand the position of the structures to each other.
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

Have all art supplies ready at hand.
Choose a segment of the cityscape that you like and focus on it.
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:

Deep rich red night sky.
Glowing yellow lights.
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”.
