This is how we get our vegetables in Montreal, out of the back of a truck! Actually it is the Lufa Farms truck that delivers vegetables, and a lot of other things, once a week. I had already picked up our order, which comes in a small grey bin, when I stopped to make a quick painting in the spitting rain. To start the painting I made a quick outline in grey paint in order to capture the figures and the truck before any movement. I filled in the red lights and other highlight areas, then moved to the night sky and dark buildings. As usual the sky was done with a mix of pyrol orange (PO73) and indo blue (PB60), with a touch of burnt red ochre (PR102) in the cloudy areas. Finally I added some texturing to the road to simulate rain drops and running water.
