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.
Urban Sketchers has a custom Moleskine sketchbook. Would you like one?
We have a limited supply of the sketchbooks created for the recent Symposium that we are offering in exchange for a minimum donation of $25 to our nonprofit (we'll cover shipping to any country). To secure your notebook, click on the red 'support urban sketchers' button on the right sidebar. More information.

i love the architecture and the fabulous drawing, are these buildings abandoned? that would be a shame
I absolutely love this!
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.
Whoa- amazing work, Tin!
you guys are too kind...haha....although I would have to disagree that it's the 'best' piece on here Alex ;P ..I feel like the incredible work on this blog is putting me to shame. all you guys are such great inspiration to me....!!..I just wish I had more time to dedicate to life drawing these days :) HAPPY NEW YEARS TO EVERYONE!!
