A few years ago I visited Sutton and ate at a local burger and beer joint. I ordered their bacon cheeseburger with beer sauce, which you can see on the plate. Upon return to Montreal I made a detailed sketch of the environment as I remembered it. There was an impressive array of earth colours and interesting textures. This study is just a practice run at the burger, I am planning on doing a 16 x 20" version of the scene to include all the surroundings. Looking at the painting, it makes me kind of hungry! To make the bun colour I mixed yellow ochre (PY43) with red ochre/red brown (PR101) to create a colour that is very similar to raw sienna. Many of the earth paints you can buy are simply mixesthat the company makes for the artist. I find that yellow ochre, red ochre, raw umber and green umber can mix almost all of the other earth colours.
