The weather couldn't be nicer for painting en plein air! It is such a treat after the heat indexes of 106 last week! I arrived looking at a different format in my paper, but soon decided to go with a more sweeping view of the scene, capturing house, garden, and street. With the dramatic perch on the hill, I took more time sketching out the angles and lines with a water resistant ink, to come back in with a water soluble one. I then took a water brush pen to the areas I wanted to wash a little, finding the balance. I do love working with the ink, so therapeutic as I capture a scene. Painting number 3119 in 3119 days.
