With the short time left of my lunch, I was looking for something to sketch. There I found it in the small reflected image on the driver's side-view mirror. The daylight was strong and parts of the industrial building across the street was bathe in light and shadows. This time, I used the small watercolor palette I have in my kit and loosely applied blue and red color mix for the big shapes in this small 2.5 x 3 inch sketch. Once I got home, I added some ballpoint pen lines.

I like the looseness of it as just a direct watercolor, but the ink lines strengthen the structure of the building. Nicely done, Mel!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joan! It was a good exercise in capturing the big shapes and not get bogged down in details. You know how I love details, hahaha.
