Fuente de la Sirena

Pen&ink and watercolor on HP Legion Stonehenge Aqua 10” x 7”
There are many fountains in the streets of San Miguel de Allende.  This is how the inhabitants got  access to free water in the past. Simple or complex, in good or bad shape, they are all beautiful. Don’t you find pleasure on the sound of falling water? I find it relaxing. This fountain is big and it is on the corner of Hospicio and Barranca Streets. Although it is in a corner, it’s not in a right angle corner but on a diagonal side, perhaps the two walls behind the fountain gives you an idea; it was tricky to put it on paper though, for sure. The surface of the white walls were even, so I added a little of light shade to make it less flat. I think it worked out.  That person was posing for a photo, I added her when she was leaving. Adding her helped to show the size of the fountain and the perspective...well a little bit.
