Plein-air sketch of Vitruvian Park in Dallas. Colored pencils on toned paper.
#coloredpencil #sketch #landscape #art
Colored pencil drawing on grey toned paper. The drawing features a small red suspension bridge that is situated over an embankment with a concrete-lined waterway. The waterway is flanked by concrete steps, and a trail runs along the embankment, under the bridge and away from the viewer up a slope. Trees are visible in the background. It is daytime with a clear blue sky.
