A street



The leaves of these cherry blossom trees changed their color as it got cooler.

I struggled whole time of sketching, as I had to keep standing, while holding a shoulder bag, palette and this sketchbook in one hand.
I used orange crayon to draw lines. This way, I don't have to draw so accurately and I don't have to correct or erase wrong line because after coloring,
these lines become less obvious.
