Wonky Parking

 

4/19/22 Green Lake neighborhood

On another sunny but chilly and windy morning, I was grateful to have my mobile studio at this dead end street. My recent color temperature study was so much challenging fun that my intention was to try another. When I started drawing, however, I got distracted by and then more interested in the cars parked at crooked angles, some halfway up on the sidewalk.

After I finished the sketch above, I remembered that I had been meaning to make a postcard sketch to send to a friend (I keep my box of Hahnemühle postcards in the car in case I see something that would make a good postcard). Thinking that these wonky cars might be fun for that, I pulled up a block closer and made the second sketch at right.

  1. Nice sketches. Mobile studios must be nice. Do you guys already have leaves on your trees? Not even a thought of them here yet.

    1. Oh, yes -- most trees are leafing out now or at least starting!

  2. I like the way the shadows turn from color to gray in the first sketch. Cars have so much more character potential in a sketch than people might think!

    1. When I first started sketching, cars were my nemesis, but now I enjoy drawing them. As you say, they do have character!
