The strip malls here are not just flat facades. The landscaping in front of the stores and even in the parking lots adds to the appeal.
I tried using toned washes of watercolor to work into the picture plane. I drew the pictures last summer and painted them yesterday.
I really like the stuff you do with pen and watercolor. I don't know if this an actual phrase or not, but you have mastered the "economy of line" Your drawings have such detail, and yet at the same time such simplicity. You seem to use only the lines that are essential to communicating the image. You really know how to find the "essence" of the subject. You make it look easy, but anyone who has ever tried to do as you do, or even copy your drawing knows it is not easy. thanks for sharing.
