Atlas Stair Building Co. Building sketch trials

 first view and sketch trial
2901 22nd street in the Mission District of San Francisco is the address of an unusual building that must have a interesting history to reveal...my focus was to capture some views with texture tests in sketchbook pro and then see what happens next...will post to flickr also...

a painting of a cake...

A selection of stages in the process of creating a cake painting, with the artrage app on the ipad, a delicious combination of frosting and layers and textures and colors...
