Here is the sketch done 2 days before the painting. I had a few minutes; so driving down this street, this is one scene I saw and one of 3 ink drawings I did in about half an hour. This is my favorite of the three, but not the only one of which I have done a watercolor.
Here is the full size pencil drawing in preparation for the watercolor. It's on the 11" x 14" copy paper that is my standby. I buy it by the ream and use it for sketching and layouts as well as studies of many different things.
This painting was stretched out side to side if compared to the first sketch because it seemed to me that the ink drawing had been scrunched together too much, and I hoped this would add some volume to the hill. Although that "scrunching" is often what gives a drawing a quaint interest- the fact that you can jam more information into a space than is really there. From 8/22/16 if you can read the scribble on the ink drawing... done on 8/24 on 11" x 15" Canson 140# paper.
