Believe it or not, people try to build houses out of shipping containers, although not these ones which are in the container lot at the end of Ville st Henri near the elevated train. The trains kept zipping by but there was enough going on with this scene to leave them out. I used indo blue (PB60) for the blue colour, slightly washed out to give the appearance of a matte finish.

Looking to the right down the beginnings of Wellington street, there was a good view of all the colourful containers with the prophetic sign Victoria Bridge Blocked in french. I didn't try to be accurate with the train cars, instead I created a more abstract interpretation focusing on a jigsaw of shapes and colours. The cars were just daubed in for effect.
