Last Sunday's Plein Air group decided on an urban site. Instead of my paint set-up,
I'd brought a sketchbook and drawing materials, planning on doing
some research for a new project.

When doing on-location sketching of this type, I usually go for
simplicity and quick studies, but...

...this intricate scene caught my eye. The planned research sketching went right out the window.

The complexity was a bit daunting, but decided to interpret the scene while
capturing much of the detail.
Materials: Kona Classic toned paper sketchbook, Verithin Colored Pencil (Scarlet),
Pentel Brushpen, Pilot Hi-Tech-C Pen (03), Uniball Signo (for white).
Thanks for reading!
Great to see the photo - such a wonderful "only Tom Sarmo" interpretation!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that , Kathleen. I don't always find it easy to interpret the scene--it is easy for me to get stuck trying to copy what's in front of me. I'm glad this one shows some of my own style!
DeleteI love how they could be from a Medieval town as much as from now. Very cool, indeed!
ReplyDeleteThanks Erik! That's sort of what I thought. Old Denver buildings--especially the houses--are disappearing fast. I might have to get busy doing some time-travel one of these days just to get inspiration, lol
