Ft. Jackson Finished

     At Last!  I was able to get back to the Ft. Jackson drawing.  Sometimes, it's good to step away for awhile and gain new perspective.


This is my original photo of the main gate.


This was the drawing from the previous post. 
Still too much yellow - too bright.


I added darker tones with Indigo Blue and added more detail to the gate and bridge.  At that point, I signed it and thought it finished.


But, a week later, I realized top and bottom were competing.  So I added purple to tone down the yellow leaves and blue to further subdue the trees.  Now, I'm finished whether the picture is or not.
I hate to overwork it

My next venture will be graphite or ink - just Black and White.

Hope y'all have a relaxing weekend,
Kareen
