Park Sketch 8/9 - 2010

Above is a watercolor sketch I did yesterday, in a nearby park.
Autumn is definitely coming on, but we've had some good weather lately so I thought I'd try and make the best of it. The original is about 4"x6", and took me approximately 45 minutes.

We had some great weather here in Copenhagen yesterday, so I went out to see if I couldn't find something to sketch. I found the park adjacent to the old library building!

I started out with a larger pencil sketch (which I'm planning to save til later, maybe go back and try an acrylic version), and then did a ~40 minute watercolor sketch. Controlling the values with watercolor has been quite a challenge, I find myself moving to quick and carelessly - botching the entire thing.
