Los Angeles River

Here are three panoramic images of the Los Angeles River. The top painting was done on hot press watercolor paper with a pen and ink drawing over which watercolor was added.

The middle painting is a series of separate paintings and sketches mounted to a cradled foam core panel which has been primed with white gesso. Pen, pencil, pastel, ink and watercolor were used, along with a typed narrative of the experience.

The bottom image was done on cold press watercolor paper with pen, watercolor and titanium white for accents.

Los Angeles Bridge

I originally did this view of a bridge that crosses the Los Angeles River in pen and ink. While I liked it, I wanted a bit more drama so I added a stormy sky and some bright sun light striking the bridge support.
