Architectural art is a favourite subject of mine and I particularly like the interaction of light with the architecture, whether that be reflections or shadows. Using coloured pencil can be very rewarding. It is no less effective than pastel, watercolour or oils in getting the illusion from light you want, but it enables very tight control for an accurate result. I love to use the medium like this with architecture. After oil painting, returning to coloured pencil feels like coming home, and I can really appreciate its effectiveness.
I have always loved detail and crafting a drawing to be something interesting and considered. It should be accurate and realistic but not a simple copy of a photograph; there should be something of the artist’s eye in the drawing.
