Heidelberg Urban Sketching



I'm currently taking an online class for urban sketching and watercolor through craftsy.com.  Our homework was to sketch something in our local area and add color to it.  This is the beautiful old bridge in downtown Heidelberg which crosses the Necker River.  
This is the first urban sketch I've done with watercolor that I've really liked.  The Holbein paints are so transparent, it's easy to add shadows and value where needed.  Used a Faber-Castel small waterproof pen for the inking.  Will keep exploring urban sketching and see where it takes me.  Would like to be able to crank out a nice urban sketch faster - this one took a few hours to complete.
