I used Black and Kiowa Pecan Noodlers in my pens and then added Noodlers Lexington Grey that was loaded into a water brush for the shadows etc.
On this one I channeled Miguel Herranz' technique (via Vicky) by starting the sketch at a point that was most interesting to me and working from that outward. That little cornice detail on the large building on the right is where I started!
Thanks to Linda in organizing this fun outing!
Your simple palette worked really well for you! I am amazed at how many sketches you got done, each one with its own interest and character. I think the first one and the last one are my favorites--the pecan ink is really nice with the grey...and the cornice is sooo cool. I love how it draws me into the sketch and then my eye travels around from there.
ReplyDeleteLove them all! There are terrific compositions and the dark/light is great. (I think they did look even darker in person though.)
ReplyDeleteI agree....you accomplished a lot Saturday morning!
ReplyDeleteAs always, I love your compositions and limited palette.
