I was working with shadows prior to this.These are the two Works with which I started this series of works.

I began with Pen drawings and worked with a few different pens at the initial stages and tried with pencil but pen will reveal more precise outline and encouraged me to continue with it. 


I worked with reverse water color process with these earlier works. This is more time consuming and at the same time is more absurd in terms of identifying the elements within the composition but provides enough opportunities for water color to show their character through textures. Different color pigments from different makes can cause varied results which can be experienced while working.

Even though these two works are smaller in size they managed to consume lot of time. The use of architectural elements are considerably less in these compositions which actually donates more emphasis on space and colors than the subject. 

This second one in particular offered more translucency and wash like effect along with the depth of field in certain areas. working with single or two colored compositions can be really fun and leads to good sense of light where as multicolored ones can give a hard time compensating all at once.
