After painting a scene of the Iranian protest at Concordia's downtown campus, I got to my final destination, The Bay. It was a busy scene with people cars and plenty of noise, although I had earplugs in as usual. I stared at this scene for some time before deciding to paint it. There was no trees or plant which is usually a requirement for me to paint a scene. It was also very technical to get this right, I had to control the value contrasts and moisture levels on the paper. You can see where by left gloved-hand smeared the paint. It was too cold to paint bare handed today.
The Bay front Facade, watercolour 5 x 7" cold press, November 2022 (No. 3286b)
This is the corner of the facade, I tried to get the sky and more of the overhang in the scene. I would like to go back to this location again, it has a lot of potential but required a larger format and more time to get all the detail. Quite a few people were around and peeking at me as I painted, a few people even took pictures of me painting.
