Today at lunch hour I rode down to Renaissance to look for something in the store, then headed over to Harley street for a quick painting. A cube truck was unloading crates of fruits and vegetables in front of Marché Fruiterie Cité. The two fellows didn't stick around very long, I made a simple outline and filled in the details from memory. In fact, the truck drive off before finishing the painting. A local stopped and looked, they were amazed that I could just pull up my bike and start painting something! To capture the interior of the van, a version of yellow ochre (PY43) from Daniel Smith company was used. It is the colour of raw pine, or light toffee. Unlike the other yellow ochre from Da Vinci company, the Daniel Smith one has more orange in it. Yellow ochre is not a precise colour concept, it can range from dijon-mustard all the way to toasted marshmallow.
