One of the things I enjoy about illustrating the Capital Mysteries series is the fact that all of the stories involve real places in and around Washington, DC.
Did somebody say 'research' !?!?
The new book is set in Monticello, Jefferson's plantation, which made this part of the work a big day in the park: not only are there zillions of photos out there of the house and grounds, but Monticello's website is fantastic. There's even a 3-D tour of the house and rooms, which let me do different sketches of the same room from different points of view.
