Painting in Old Town Manassas

Posted by Rob Burkhard on Tuesday May 6, 2008 Under Events, Paint! Manassas, Painting, Watercolor

Okra’s value sketch with some watercolor added

Today I spent most of the day parked on the corner of Center Street in Old Town Manassas.  From my wonderful seat I was able to capture this 18×24 value sketch (on rough watercolor paper) and add some watercolor before the sun came up and ruined my light.  I did get about 3 hours of quality light.

This will be a PAINT! Manassaspainting that I plan to finish on May 10th in Old Town Manassas at the kick off.  I need to get the shadows right before I go back out becausee the light shifts very quickly between the buildings and it reeks havoc with perspective, color and tone.
