I am still at it, sketching new shops, homes, places, pets and keeping things humming along. This happens to be store no. 68 for a client. I have a few deadlines that need my full attention so in case you wonder why things are a bit quiet, I am needing some "stillness" in order to focus my full attention on getting some work completed. Firstly, I rough in the sketch in pencil and then work over with micron pen and a water color wash. Everyone asks how long does a sketch take me to do.
More on that for another post. There are so many variables that go into each work.

Time to get to work. As always - thanks so much for your comments and your support.
I love to see the process of how art turns into the finished piece. I like your work at this point too...this shop reminds me of something you might see in Santa Barbara. I love the tile roof, the iron work, the detail.

Brooke,
Stillness is something we find by letting go, by cutting back, by carving out time for quiet. Even a walk or time in nature can provide peace, even to a pre-k human.

Jennifer,
I often wonder if I should have been an architect!
I do love a good building, a home or a shack. As always, thanks so much for your humor and support.

Loving this sketch - so interesting to see it before the color is added.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute drawing. Love that street scene. Modern but also a throwback architecturally (excluding the brands noted, of course)
ReplyDeletePatricia! I love seeing your in-progress shots. They are so inspiring :) Hope you are staying warm in this frigid winter weather.
