In the car--with art gear


This sketch was rendered while my husband drove across town to pick up my daughter from orchestra rehearsal.


My goal was to capture bits of street images as they appeared along the way. I first sketched with graphite, added watercolor with my Niji brush, enhanced the shapes with a charcoal pencil, and finished it off with colored pencils. It was challenging in the moving vehicle--bumps and potholes realistically recorded in real time. LOL


It's "on-the-go-car-art".
