Blue washes in Orsay


When I started with the roof of this Maison des Associations in the little town where we stayed, I was focused and warm. As I got colder (weather overcast and chilly), the bench got harder, and I got bored with architectural drawing, I really lost interest by the time I got down to the ground floor.

Good thing it wasn't a taller building!

Ink and wash on 90# w/c paper.





In Paris we'd seen a gallery with beautiful line drawings backed by a swoosh of color. So I came home and rendered my water bottle.

  1. Oh, I love both of these! I know it's a cliche to say but really they are simple and effective!

  4. I love the building against the blue. I've been toying around with getting back into daily drawing. You are really making me want to commit to doing it.
