It called for rain today but there was not much at all, just a few drops. I carried my umbrella around all day expecting it to rain as I went back and forth between the office and the laboratories. Towards the lunch hour I made a quick painting of the imposing storm clouds and the greenhouse that sits atop the campus building. For the bricks, raw sienna (PBr7) was used to capture the correct colour. Right at the end of the painting, the sun came out and an interesting shadow emerged. It was done by mixing the raw sienna and the brownish mixture used for the roof top elements.
