Sometimes the piece in your head never quite lives up to reality, but it's the process, not the output that's important to me, so here's my latest #art #failure #BlueTue #ColorADay #watercolor #painting #Castle #MixedMedia #Brusho #Arrtx #Grabie #Pentel #GelPen #CSY #acrylic #CaranDache #NeoColourII

A plein air ink and crayon sketch of a picnic pavilion at Wentworth Park, viewed from the front on a rainy day. The brown-roofed, brick-columned structure stands centered in the scene in front of a yellowish-green pond, with brown picnic tables visible inside and a black trash bin near the right front. To the right, a blue recycling bin sits beside a path that curves in from the foreground. Surrounding the pavilion are loosely sketched trees in soft greens and yellows, suggesting diffused rainy light. The ground is a mix of muted greens and grays, and the artist’s signature is in the bottom right corner with the date “2025-08-09” and the text “Wentworth Park” below the image.

Second in my “Plein Car” series — Wentworth Park pavilion on a rainy day, drawn from the parking lot. Ink lines, bold brush details, and layered crayon colour bring the scene to life without ever stepping into the rain. #art #pleinair #InkAndWash #neocolourII #sketching
