  Wow, I really like the effect the duel monochrome thing you did gives this. I think I might try it.

  Lucky you to have so many iconic structures to paint. Must visit one day to see all these myself.

  You could argue that all bridges take you away from Manhattan…. I walked the brooklyn bridge to the city last year, and I agree it’s something special. The sepia monochrome gives it a nice touch.

  Thank you. I experimented here with 2 water brushes, I filled( wanted it for a long time, saw Lapin doing it) with diluted watercolor from more then 20 year old tubes. But on Moleskine sketch paper it does not show much, so I used it on WC, next sketch. Here added Sepia of course.
  @Bob, please, come one day. Manhattan is so beautiful, endless adventure.

  Rene, every bridge here have a different face, and while driving, you see it unfolding in front of you, walking gives you is more intimate view. I want to see bridge in Japan, Tokio, I believe, going through the round tower.

  Why Tokyo, I seem to remember a picture of a new York elevated train track running through a building. Maybe the High Line?
