Night walk

This is my pen and watercolor work of nightlife of a peaceful and remote European town.

From the childhood, I always felt attracted to the places that are not very famous with tourists. To me, they are authentic with typical ‘local feel’. These places are not much disturbed by tourists hence they are pure and real.

After painting these quaint places I feel like walking around the narrow alleys and taking in the scenery. It’s a kind of experience of pure magic though imaginary.

For this painting, I drew the rough sketch with 3h graphite pencil then I used gel pen and watercolors. At some places, I used oil pastels.

Thanks and have a good day ahead.
