PONTE VECCHIO

 I used pastel pencils on 8"x12" natural sienna Pastelmat
 for the ADNW February challenge. I was completely out
 of my comfort zone, but I persevered! I think architecture
 is not for me.

ADNW November Challenge

This was sketched for  ADNW, with a black gel pen, which unfortunately turned out to be water soluble. I had planned for it to be pen and coloured wash, but it would have turned muddy.
