Houses in Foggy Bottom

 

Pitt oil base pencil, graphite and watercolor on HP watercolor paper 10 in x 7 in

Foggy Bottom is a neighborhood in Washington DC, it’s one of the oldest settlements in the city. Houses are made of brick and I observed many of them are painted in beautiful colors, making the neighborhood nice. It’s within walking distance of the National Mall and perfect for first timers visiting this city. After several days visiting the city, we took a day off and did nothing but to rest and give the body a break. I couldn’t resist the temptation to go out down the street and sketch some houses in this neighborhood. I did the work line there and took a shot of the beautiful shadows and watercolored it back at home. This area is packed with young people from the George Washington University. Electric scooters are quite popular among tourists, many joggers and people with dogs made the streets here full of live, although it’s very quiet, this is not an area for night life people. The vibe in this area is safe, vibrant but serene also. We enjoyed our stay time here.
