Chicago Skyline Watercolor Painting #853. Key elements to this work of art are as follows.

Chicago skyline watercolor with John Hancock Center.

• John Hancock Center
• Elevation
• Delineation

1. John Hancock Center: The John Hancock Center is centerpiece of the watercolor painting. The tapering of the walls of this famous skyscraper lends itself to the formation of the cluster of building that form the apex with the antennae.
2. Elevation: The elevation of the watercolor is right on Lake Shore Drive. I have omitted any waterfront so as to focus on the structures. A thin strand of trees form a buffer between the shoreline and the buildings.
3. Delineation: I have used a more careful line work for this watercolor. The lines on the John Hancock Center are clean and clear not loose and free. The lines on the lower building are looser.

Chicago Skyline Watercolor Painting At Sunset #712. Key elements of this work of art are as follows.

• John Hancock Center
• Lake Michigan
• Color

1. John Hancock Center: The John Hancock Center without doubt dominates the skyline as it should! This historic structure stands as the culmination of the surrounding skyscrapers of Streeterville in Chicago’s near north side. This watercolor is a perfect blending of both pen & ink drawing and watercolor painting. One form of art compliments the other.
2. Lake Michigan: Lake Michigan plays a vital role in this sunset drama offering a wonderful reflection that cast the images of the city skyline with the glorious colors of the setting sun.
3. Color: The colors in this work of art are as important as the pen & ink line work. The glorious yellow and maroons are cast into the night sky as their colors fade way in the deep blue tones of the sky. The clouds with their gaseous structure give a wonderful full body structure to the tones making for a full and rich sunset cityscape.

Chicago Skyline Watercolor Painting With John Hancock Center #599. Key elements to this work of art are as follows:

• John Hancock Center
• Lake Shore Drive
• Delineation

Chicago skyline #072Z

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.

This article is about Chicago skyline #065Z Sunset Watercolor Painting, 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 is my watercolor painting of the Chicago, Illinois, skyline in Lincoln Park, at sunset, in fall.

Chicago Skyline Sunset Watercolor Painting #2354. Key elements of this work of art are as follows:

• John Hancock Center
• Fall Season
• Lincoln Park

1. John Hancock Center: The John Hancock Center is quietly resting at the left hand side of the watercolor to balance the composition of the trees on the right side and the pond in Lincoln Park at the bottom.
2. Fall Season: The colors are both of the fall season and at sunset to you have a winning combination of colors. The bright yellow on the right hand side is the after glow of the setting sun and the darker tones are the clouds and vapors in the more distant sky.
3. Lincoln Park: The pond of Lincoln Park Zoo can be seen at the bottom of the watercolor and it should be noted that water does not reflect sunset colors, but rather the light of the reflecting shore line.

This article is about Chicago skyline #061Z Watercolor Of Near North Side, 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 is my watercolor painting of the Chicago, Illinois, skyline of the near north side.

Chicago Skyline Watercolor Of Near North Side #1449. Key elements of the work of art are as follows.

• Streeterville
• John Hancock Center
• Lake Michigan

1. Streeterville: This area of Chicago is commonly called the near north side, however, in reality it is called and designated by the city as Streeterville. Famous for it’s fine shops and luxurious homes and condominiums, this area is one of the most sought after neighborhood in Chicago.
2. John Hancock Center: The John Hancock Center looms over the skyline letting everyone know where you are. In this watercolor I have toned down the strong black paint of the building and removed the exoskeleton. Making these changes to the structure make it fit into the framework of the watercolor better. I rarely ever put hard black into any of my work, I most often tone down the black.
3. Lake Michigan: Lake Michigan is indispensable in the watercolor for the glimmering reflections seen in the water make this scene come alive.
