Another travel sketch

Bought some hard pastels to play with because I liked the earth tones.  This is Tallinn, Estonia from a picture I took in 2006.

Landscape practice

Hmm, looks like the scanner washed some color away.  Getting some landscape practice in for an upcoming trip to an exciting place!  Right on the edge of sanity.

These are done from travel brochures with inktense pencils and new water brushes.  Not sure about either one, might go with my trusty ol' water brushes which seem easier to fill and the Koi pans.
