Sketch by Sarah Sullivan of Arches and Shadows at Balboa Park

Arches and Shadows at Balboa Park

I painted this morning at Balboa Park with the San Diego Watercolor Society Plein Air group. I forgot my sun shirt so I stood in the shade and painted the sunlight coming through the archways. I like the composition and plan to return and do some variants of this view.

This is a gouache sketch on black paper.

    I like the sense of “strong” this conveys (don’t tell them the buildings were made of almost papier mache!)
