This is the back side of the Ponce City Market from the Binders store parking lot.
It was sketched with my Noodler Creaper Ahab no pencil first. Silly me. Wish I had painted the building farther down. Oops!!!
Sky is cobalt blue brick cad red and vermilion with yellow ochre and a bit of Inathridone to grey it slightly. Black is Inathridone and burnt umber. Letters are cad red and vermilion.
Stay tuned for more drawings of this building on Ponce de Leon in Atlanta. It’s the old Sears building that’s being rehabbed as condos and a market similar to the Pike Market in Seattle. There’s something about the tower on that old building with its flag flying against the blue sky that I never tire of. Add in the signage and its a winner. Best part of it to me is the new Binders store minutes from my kids houses!! Love that store.
Thanks for reading.

I remember that building, across the street from it used to be the baseball stadium where the Atlanta Crackers played minor league baseball, my grand father used to take me to the ball games there when I was a little girl, and as I usually did in big stores, I got lost in that Sears store many times wandering away from my mother while she shopped. This picture really brought back some found memories of my home town 🙂

Glad it did. Pretty soon you will be able to wonder through it and get lost again. I have heard a lot of stories about the Crackers games where Whole foods is now.

Did I answer?! Thanks. I read a book by Richard Scmidt. He said doesn’t alter what u draw. They are all just shapes whether it’s a person a horse or a house.
