Italy Colosseum Building Sketch
The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. I got this picture from google. I started sketching a part of it in the landscape mode. Initial, I started with a pencil drawing. Drew outline sketch of the colosseum shape, surrounding trees and pillars. Once finished, started with ink drawing. (Still, I haven't received my "sakura" Pigma micron). The ink I am using is not water resistant.
This was the initial sketch,

| Ink Sketch |
I am using an "A6" sketchbook. Initial ink drawing looked decent. On top of this, i added watercolor. It did not come up so well. I'm still working on my color combinations. Its taking time to understand the color shades on the photography.Also, I am still learning on how to paint the darker areas with "black" or darker shades. If i use darker shades like "black", it becomes too black, can be seen on this below finished sketch.
The darker shadows of tree did not come so well. Also since the ink is not water resistant,it created a kind of blotting effect.
More over the paper which i am using supports only light washes. Its a 130 GSM paper. So there is a limit to what i can paint. I am planning to buy a watercolor sketch pad or plannign to make one myself.
