Griffith Observatory Watercolor Painting

Of all of my plein air paintings with my Saturday morning group, I am most proud of this one.  We set out to go to the Griffith Observatory one beautiful January morning and I chose this spot for all of us.  We sat down, started drawing, and then a half hour in I exclaimed, “Why didn’t anyone warn me how difficult this angle would be?!”  I initially started out in pen and ink and then abandoned ship…it just wasn’t coming out.

Thankfully, I had a pencil and eraser on hand, so I gave it another shot and a drawing eventually came together.  Getting through the drawing is difficult for me — I would much rather be putting paint on the paper.  So, I was excited to move on to the paint stage and am SO pleased with how this came together.  I especially love the patina on the dome!
