Arc de Triomf – Barcelona, Spain

It was an active Saturday afternoon with vibrant life all around coming from clamor on the fair grounds.

This made for quite the experiential urban sketch…

I began this sketch with a certain framework in mind –

Layers of proportions and symmetrical observations.

As soon as the bones were laid-out on paper, it was ready for shadows, color, and LIFE.
Process:

First layer of color highlighting the most important object.  Layering color and finishing touches of darkening shadows and sky color[/caption]
