Color Coordinated City Blocks


Is it architectural ignorance or awareness?...sometimes I feel like Richmond is the only city that can get away with structures such as these. Next time I'm discussing color theory, we will take a walk down Main Street people.

I love your sketch!
The porch there looks like the original coloration of the Parthenon - a bit wild for modern tastes but it was that colourful.

A stunning drawing. The perspective is great and the bright colors really make it jump off the page. I really think this is one of the best pieces I've seen on Urban Sketchers.
