Heritage Park near Old Town, San Diego

This is the sketch I did today at the San Diego Urban Sketcher event at Heritage Park in Old Town, San Diego. Pencil and watercolor in a Daler Rowney sketchbook.

I passed on drawing the Victorian Homes and drew a house on the hill instead.

I had a hard time using the Dr. Ph. Martin's on location. It was still fun sketching and trying something new. I used a watercolor paper and it really soaked up the watercolors.

Busyhead House, Old Town San Diego

Heritage Park was the location of the San Diego Urban Sketchers Meetup this weekend. This is a county park located close to Old Town, San Diego. It measures almost 8 acres and was developed to preserve examples of  San Diego’s Victorian architecture. My sketch is of the Bushyhead House. Mr Edward Wilkerson Bushyhead was an early San Diego Sheriff, an early San Diego sheriff, chief of police and San Diego Union newspaper owner, built this Italianate residence in 1887.

My sketch is a 3.5 x 5.5 inch watercolor on Arches Watercolor board.
