Jean-Talon is a busy street best known for its market, the Jean-Talon market which has about a hundred food vendor mostly produce. There are several metro entrances on Jean-Talon including this one which is farthest to the East. It looks like an old building, I recognize the prolific use of concrete and odd angles in the architecture. To paint the bricks I used red ochre and iron oxide red, with slight touches of green. Adding green to orange makes a little darker and yellower. The windows are dark turquoise, made with indo blue (PB60), phthalo green (PG36), carbon black (PBk6), and just enough water.

This scene shows a new entrance, they use a fashionable charcoal-black brick and big windows. Unfortunately the only place to stand was across the street, and the sun was low enough to cast a shadow over the whole structure. On the foreground is half of Jean-Talon street).
