LaSalle and Van Buren Metra Chicago

Mixed media on watercolor paper, 9 in x 10 in , scanned.


I took the train to Chicago to attend a show/concert about Japanese drums, Kodo drums. I took a picture of this view on my way there and saved it for later. I also took a course online to explore other creative ways to sketch and used that photo as reference.  My lines are tight and I wanted to do something different. I was uncomfortable at first but I told myself to trust the process. Here is the result. I embraced the imperfections and I liked that I threw mixed media there but at the end the sketch looks cohesive because I limited the color palette. I liked the final product and the overall experience was fun!
