Road Trip to Northern California

Just back from a 10 day road trip to the Bay Area. Soaked up sun, beautiful scenery and a big dose of urban San Francisco.  Like visiting an old friend.  Managed to get some sketching in on the road and on the sidewalk.  Some highlights:

  1. Great journal of the trip. Really gives a sense of being on the road. Nice values on the palm tree sketch. Feels like your style is changing. Almost no reds, yellows, oranges. Employing a limited palette?

  2. Thanks, Sue. For this trip, I tried using the Valesquez palette from our recent workshop. Plus, they're weren't big reds, yellows & oranges in these scenes. I like that palette a lot. Fun to play with. Though there are several colors I can't manage to get using it.
