fingerpainting hamburg-altona

| Hamburg Altona

The sky had just cleared while the sinking sun broke through the horizon. Altona is a fantastic area of Hamburg. There are always street artists, hippies and panhandlers giving the cobblestone streets its own characteristic different from the rest of the city. This is an intersection close to the office where we often walk by whilelooking for a place to eat.

After drawing the lines, I realized that I forgot my brush back in the office so I found a clean puddle and used the water to help mix the colors with my fingers. It was messy but there is something in spontaneous methods that may not give the sketch a great appearance but the different types of last minute experimentation makes sketching fun.
