I have an ambition to learn watercolor painting, but I often mess up my plein air attempts because I'm too impatient (and because I spend to much time thinking about hue and not enough on value, but that's another issue).<br />Also, how did you find out the entertaining story about the street?Erik Melanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04012821466952693547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-49682109241849404122010-08-10T08:15:05.813-04:002010-08-10T08:15:05.813-04:00You have really caught the effect of bright sunlig...You have really caught the effect of bright sunlight reflecting off the buildings.

I had to lean to the side when big trucks went by.<br /><br />The sketch is in watercolor in a Moleskine 6 x 8 inch watercolor book. I used mainly ultramarine and raw sienna.
