A day trip to Beacon, NY
Last Saturday, we went for a quick day trip to Beacon, NY. It's about an hour away north to Duchess County. Once we got there, we parked our car along Main Street and walked up in the direction where I found the historic Howland Cultural Center. It was once a local library. I was drawn to it's architecture and the available park bench right in front of the building. Once I finished the ballpoint sketch, I put some watercolor wash to it. Until I use more of the watercolor paint will I learn how to tame it. So much to be desired!

Nicely done! You got more vibrancy in the color than I usually do with a water brush.
