Colored Pencil Sketch of Miner's Ravine

This was just a beautiful, and relaxing scene just as the sun was setting behind me and the sky was turning all kind of deep blue. The lighting just couldn't be captured with my camera, being a point and shoot where it "tries" to adjust to the optimal lighting but instead washes out all the nuances of color. I was sitting on the edge of the Miner's Ravine greedbelt avoiding the hustle and bustle of Roseville, watching the evening walkers and bicyclists going by, while being serenated by the red-winded blackbird flitting about the reeds in the marsh below me. It's no wonder I love plein air art SO much!
