Urban sketching, watercolor flowers

Urban sketch of the North Hollywood Regional Library (alias the Amelia Earhart branch) of Los Angeles Public Library, last Saturday morning.


In the sketchbook, drawn with a Uniball pen and watercolored after.

And a floral watercolor based on a reference photo from Hilary Weeks's garden.


These got a little fuzzy and muddy, but I loved the colors and the way they blended. They might have popped a little more had I put in a darker background, but part of what i liked about the reference photo was the light in the background, so I kept some of it.

On Fluid watercolor paper, drawn with pencil and watercolored using Paul Jackson Signature paints and a synthetic Escoda brush. About 7x10.25.
