When I was in grad school I became obsessed with drawing cities. I loved their intricacy. I loved their detail. I loved the way all their pieces fit together to create three-dimensional paths. But all my cities were in black-and-white. And then I took this illustration class where my teacher said I really ought to learn something about color. And I put the cities away because I didn’t know how to draw them in color.
As anyone who’s been reading this blog knows, I am also obsessed with grays. And it turns out that cities are full of luscious lovely varied shades of gray. After a couple years of painting grays, and one year of sewing them, I feel ready to tackle cities again. This time in color.
