EDM Challenge #88: Draw Something That Moves in a Breeze
I have never sketched a flag - and was lucky enough to have one in front of a historically landmarked building in my neighborhood in New York City. I want to do multiple sketches of this beautiful building that was the home of a light opera composer in the early 1900s. In the 1930 census that I viewed its value was already estimated at $1,000,000 and it is well maintained and now contains several luxury apartments. I was able to do the sketch while standing in front of the building and then take a photo of the flag when it was blowing to sketch and paint at home.
