Across the Street

The homework for Sketchbook Skool is to go outside and draw. Ok, I was outside of my house, inside my classroom, drawing something outside across the street--a car in front of a boarded up building. I hope that counts...

I need practice drawing cars. This takes time. And I was upstairs looking down--an odd angle. One sees more roof, I suppose. I started with a page that I had prepared by painting a yellow wash on it a couple nights before. Then I added purple (with a bit of black) shadows at home with watercolors. I used a Stabilo OH Pen with a superfine tip. More practice needed and that means more sketching pleasure ahead! Now I need to get back to some stitching....
