City Lights, Sunset Heights
For this custom watercolor commission, I captured Toronto's skyline as seen from a client's own condo balcony at sunset. The perspective was key here, slightly elevated, looking out over the city with the CN Tower anchoring the composition. I leaned into a warm, luminous palette of tangerine, soft pink, and golden yellow melting into cool indigo shadows. The buildings are rendered with loose, suggestive brushwork, while the sky takes center stage with layered wet-on-wet washes. This piece is about that peaceful transition between day and night — and the privilege of having a front-row seat to one of the best views in the city.
