Old downtown San Luis Potosí city, México. Part 1. The Metropolitan Cathedral.

Ink on HP Watercolor paper 10” x 7”

Old town of San Luis Potosí city, México, is in the process of being a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage Site. Since I read the news, it has been always in my list to do. So I’m staying in old downtown to sketch exclusively this area. There are so many squares in downtown San Luis Potosí, most with gardens and very close to each other, just one or two small blocks. The sketch above is the South side of the Metropolitan Cathedral, a view from a window on a 4th floor. Ink seemed to be the technique to show some details, it was a must, given the opportunity to sketch to so up close to the building. I may add watercolor later, as for now, I like it as it is. It will be a feast to sketch this area.....finally. 
A night light show displays interesting shapes and color in the main facade.
