Gowanus 3 & Inktober 2018 - Day 3

For this sketch by the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn I stood, leaning against a wall/fence and was looking toward Carroll Street. There was a lot of construction going on...so lots of orange fencing to restrict traffic where the road was all torn up.


My Inktober 2018 Day 3 sketch was done at Little Vincent's in Ronkonkoma. They reheated my pizza slice and it was much too hot to eat without burning my mouth, so I started sketching my view. Of course I stopped once I was able to eat the slice and then finished this when it was done. I used my Lamy pen, a brush pen, and my water brush that I touched to the Lamy pen to get some shading. And yes, the pizza was good!

  4. These are both great Joan. I like the blue fence against the orange in the first piece and the subtle shading in the second - super!
