Deep Indigo
Use for deep shadows, night scenes, or adding profound depth to water and doorways.
Begin by establishing the structural colors of buildings and bridges, then layer in the natural elements like trees and flowers. For reflections on canals and rivers, use lighter, diluted versions of the colors above the waterline, applying gentle vertical strokes to capture the shimmer.
Fine-tipped colored pencils are excellent for capturing intricate architectural details, brickwork, and delicate flower petals. Alcohol markers can effectively fill larger areas like skies or waterways, creating smooth, even washes.
To create depth in stone walls and cobblestone paths, use cross-hatching or stippling with varying pressure. For building facades, consider a single consistent light source and apply shadows beneath eaves, balconies, and around window frames to make structures pop.
This collection offers a delightful range of complexity, from charming, detailed cottages to expansive village panoramas. It's perfectly suited for intermediate to advanced colorists who enjoy intricate architectural and landscape scenes.
