Study for Bridges Florence

Color Pencil on Rag Paper 10” x 8” $195

This is the finished sketch. I used blunt tipped colored pencils to add color and shadows. With sharpened tips I was able to pick out the details. I enjoyed working on the subtle colors of the weathered shop walls and the individual windows with their green shutters. The perspective and atmosphere on the receding bridges was difficult to capture. I’m glad I worked things out with this drawing; it is going to be very helpful with the larger painting.
