Could have been worse, I went out late in the afternoon and found a comfortable spot to sit under a tree to avoid the bad weather. This is the same park where I painted the
train tracks awhile ago. This view is at the front of the park which borders on Sherbrooke street and de Maisonneuve. It started spitting rain as I painted but generally held off, and then turned sunny all of a sudden. Part of the painting was done overcast, then I popped in a few shadows on the building when it was sunny. They used that garish orange on the window paneling which I can simulate using benzimida orange paint from DaVinci Company. The yellow flowers on the left were done with bismuth vanadate yellow another new colour I got this year, from Schmincke company. Painting in hot humid weather like this is extra challenging, nothing dries and the paint gets soft and gooey on the palette. Oh, and it poured rain on the way home, luckily I found a spot to wait it out.
