Just wanted to post here the piece number 08 in my “Tokyo at Night” series, especially that I made a Making-Of video for it.
This watercolor painting is again based on some reference photos I took while walking at night in the Kagurazaka, Waseda area of Tokyo probably going with Kana on a late errand or walk. I really liked how the tall building in the background looked like some kind of weird tower of unknown purpose contrasting with the dark building and car parking in the front. The lone, lit window also adds to the mysterious mood!
In this piece, I used an airbrush for the first time in this series, to get some additional depth and shadows. I’m showing more about this technique in the video below.
