Though I had to stand in the sun to get this vantage, this place was a pleasure to draw! I jump right in with my fountain pen, I never use a pencil first. With such a complicated scene, I did pull out my India ink pen to make a few tag marks to help me visualize all the angles and lines. From the grand entrance, everything is relationships between the masses. Once I get all my lines down with my fountain pen, I then float over a little water to get my mid tones - and on such a hot day - that water dried SUPER fast! I thought I might have to fill up my water brush from the fountain - but I had just enough! Painting number 2402 in 2402 days. Don't you just love that street? I wish every street were paved in such a way!
