Completed with Pureeka! late last year, this painting was somewhat of an experiment in combining air and hand brush techniques to arrive at the illusion of luminosity. It all went rather well, and took the cityscapes to a new level of development for me, that of creating an environment that underscored the visual statement being made.

The photo doesn't really show the full lighting effects and floodlight vapor at froggie's feet, which is much more luminous when physically seen.

Still amazes me as to the combination of human detachment and product overkill.

About 200 hours working every day and night nonstop.

Thanks Zofia, it is showing in Italy at present :hexentanz: ... the red car served as an anchor against the otherwise dominant billboard.

I tried to get a glow effect through painting once, though I kind of went gung ho and was using watercolours
any pointers?

hmm, it is really not much more than looking at contrasting tones and using glazes to make it appear as if the light is coming out from beneath. try starting with the lighest colors first and then building up, hope that helps..:hexentanz:
