Cityscape - Textured abstract knife painting

Original abstract oil on canvas is hand-painted with a palette knife to create the "Cityscape". 

This work of art has been created on 18" x 24" white-wrapped canvas is relatively a smaller version of canvas compared to my previous canvas sizing. It is well-primed and prepared for the textured cityscape effect. 

The technique adapted here is the textured painting. The texture paste gives enough thickness to build an almost three-dimensional base to any artwork. 

Different palette knives were used to apply it on the canvas for the buildings and to carve their mark-makings on all of the buildings.

Major colors black, white, and grey also contain a subtle cooler tone to set the mood. A mix of pink and blue hues gave this gloomy subtle violet color creating the dazzling evening scene. 

The white highlightings provided the wet and slippery effect after a rain. To give this artwork some life, a brightly dressed lady holding an umbrella is accompanied by a black dog (silhouette). The lamp post bestowed the needed yellow lights and sparkle to this cityscape.

The edges of the canvas have been painted black and a final coat of protection is yet to be applied. Do leave your comments and feedback in the box below.
