Sketching Portland

This year one of my goals is to draw and paint more in the field. With the unusually nice weather recently I have been able to do a bit of sketching outside, mostly on my lunch break with couple other architects in my office.
 This is a sketch of Cathedral Bridge in St Johns from a couple weekends ago when the weather was great. The other 3 are from Portland's Pearl District sketched during lunch break and watercolored at home. I have recently made a travel sketch watercolor palette so I can start painting on site but have yet to use it.

    Love these small details of Portland buildings. I have attempted the St Johns bridge many times your rendition shows all its beauty.

    Thanks Deb! I do find myself getting caught up in the building details my goal is to capture the detail and still keep the drawing loose and suggestive.
