Really just a sketch to try a few things, mostly depth and perspective practice. Nothing fancy

You can still see the grids I used because I was a dummy and merged the layers. :D

Ellicott

Can you tell I've been paying attention to Pascal Campion? ;)

Decided to take some advice from him and just try to paint a beautiful experience, and not care about how it looks for once. Very freeing :) Imitating his style here was very interesting and I learned a lot about his thought process just from a quick sketch. 

This is reminiscent of a trip to Ellicott City I had a few weeks ago. 30 mins
