I went to downtown Palo Alto for lunch with a friend yesterday and saw this street scene. At the time I didn't have my sketch kit with me so I went back today fully equipped.
It wasn't easy for me to draw a busy street scene but to be honest, I was quite happy about how the sketch turned out. I felt good while applying watercolour on the paper. The mix of colours didn't turn into muddy puddles in the process.
Just when I felt it was time to call it a day, I rode pass the Apple store. At the time I thought it would be a good idea to sketch the store as the modern glass building looks quite different from the other brick buildings. Alas, what a mistake! The sketch looks dull and the glass house doesn't appear to be as shining as it is in real life. Oh well, at least one of the sketches for the day was satisfying.
