Dusk Approaches

Dusk Approaches — watercolour by Robert Scholten

Dusk Approaches
Watercolour on paper

A narrow street recedes between dark façades, with a luminous sky and scattered lights opening the distance.

Ochre buildings, cool violet shadows and small figures hold the composition together. The softened edges let the evening atmosphere carry across the street.

LOOKING CLOSER

An evening street

The broad dark shapes frame a lighter passage through the middle of the image. A few bright accents bring the shopfronts, cars and figures into focus.
