West 181st Street

The second part of the outing two weeks ago was an hour stop at the bottom of West 181st street where a scenic/panoramic view of the Hudson River and the George Washington Bridge delighted us.

At the time, I only managed to sketch it in pencil but found time yesterday to apply some color to it.  That was Ronald in the middle ground doing his sketch of the scene.  I rediscovered the GoPro camera and filmed my coloring process with a 1 minute interval between shots before compiling them into a short video.  It was fun!
After the watercolor wash.

    The color really enhances the sketch! Great job on the architectural details.

      As they say “color my world”. It does make a difference. Thank you Joan!
