Patience Pays Off

10/16/13 Platinum Carbon ink, watercolor, Canson Montval (left) and Strathmore 400 (right) 140 lb. papers
Just as I was griping about the sun not breaking through today’s fog, there it was. I walked a few blocks to Banner Way Northeast, a diagonal street that runs parallel to Interstate 5. With the roar of evening rush-hour traffic below me, I tried to capture all the long shadows reaching toward a glorious stand of maples.

  4. Good sketch! I never did see the sun today. Planted 60 Irises instead of sketching.

  6. Great sketch, Tina. I can relate to your frustration over a lack of sun/contrast/shadows. It's a regular problem in Quebec. Glad your patience prevailed.

    Cheers --- Larry
