Study for Bridges Florence in progress


Color Pencil on Rag Paper 10” x 8”

This in progress drawing is a study for an acrylic painting of the same subject. At this point I have the major shapes sketched in and have added color to the bridges and landscape. Next I will add more detail, shadows and more color. I started the piece with a graphite pencil sketch on buff rag paper and am using prismacolors to add the color. I like to do preliminary sketches for paintings; everything from thumb nails to pieces the same size as the painting. They really help me work out composition, color relationships and details for the final piece.
