I concentrated on the mural in this iteration of the series. I took liberties with colors (since the source photo is in black and white) and the design, since it was a bit small in the original.

I guessed at the colors for the mural and used a second photo to fill out the architecture surrounding the urban gas station.

This sketch has an amorphous quality. I focused on the parking lot sign and building, enlarging my photo to see as much detail as possible. The partial views of the car and the truck in the foreground does not differ from the mural and graffiti in the background. Only the green leaves of the tree […]

This is a tough one. There was a lot going on visually in the original photo of this Los Angeles street scene. There is the building facade, composed of windows and awnings and a facade of a person on the blank faced of the building facing the parking lot. That face is obscured by a […]
