Deception Pass - WIP #1

Last February I got to visit Deception Pass inbetween Whidbey Island and Fidalgo Island in Northwestern Washington State.  It is beautiful there, though I must say I didn't venture out onto the bridge by foot.  It is amazingly high and my fear of heights stopped me in my tracks.  We hiked down to the strait's shore and I got this amazing photo:


I decided about a month after this visit to try to do my first full page watercolor (ordinarily, I fold the page in half because for some reason a whole page is just too scary :-).  So here is the pencil sketch I have done so far.

Now that it's all sketched out, the paper doesn't seem so big and scary anymore :-)  I hope to have the inking done soon.  Then I plan to watercolor the whole thing.

  1. It looks great sketched out already. I would be terrifed too of crossing the bridge!
