Usually its the fork that I forget to bring to work, but today it was my paint brushes. Just the brushes mind you, I had everything else with me. With this scene in front of me, it seemed a shame to give up so I literally made this painting with a fork. To start I poured some water on the palette than worked up the blue and pink colours in the sky. After a few tries I figured out how to apply the paint washes and scrape in some detail. By holding the fork upright I could make some interesting details like the windows of the PERFORM Centre across the street, a tree, and my initials on the right side. Paining with a fork wasn't ideal, I understand why brushes are so important now, but at least the moment was well captured!
