Late Afternoon

"Late Afternoon Used Cars," wc/ink on paper

This watercolor was done sitting across the street from a used car lot that was in partial shade. The two cars were nearly antiques. One is a 1960 Chevrolet and the other a Mustang from the mid-1960s. In those days I used a pocket sketchbook measuring about 3.5x5.5 so I could carry it in a pocket. The remainder of my sketching gear then included a waterbrush, a swatch of paper towel, and a small metal paintbox that would fit in a pocket. A light set like that was extremely convenient and I still carry very little when outside.
