Also known as Piazza dell'Arte ("square of art"), 14th street between Market and Lawrence transforms into a canvas for these artists over a 2 day festival

These artists use color pastels, chalk to create color, depth and shadows around the outlines on 14th Street

The art doesn't last long, but that doesn't stop the artists to create intricate and fun artwork for display on a blank asphalt canvas - even if it is for just a couple of days

The artist first draws an outline of the original painting using charcoal pastel or pencil in proper proportion

Once the outline is drawn, the artists then begin to lay the base of colors
