Monument, Taj Mahal at sunset, by Elaine (jaguarish)
Another momument sketch based on a photo, of the Taj Mahal. It's from a Creative Commons photo that I found in Wikipedia. I love the dramatic sunset lighting.
Thanks, Linda and Lynn. I was in the mood for a sunset and didn't even realise it until I saw the photo reference! It sure was fun making up my wash of yellow and gradually tinting it more and more orange. The darkest colour at the bottom is from my latest acquisition, "Indian Red Deep" (a special Australian landscape colour from Winsor & Newton).
Thanks so much for dropping in and leaving your reactions to our art! We appreciate your comments! They are now being moderated however, to weed out spammers!
beautiful for a cold winter day
