Advancing with Watercolor: Interiors "Cafe Culture"

Interiors
This is a video done as a supplement to watercolor classes being taught by Gary Tucker in Boston. This painting is part of a series that I’ve been working on which focuses on coffee shops. I really enjoy to start my day at a coffee shop. Watching people, thinking about the day, and also sketching and sometimes painting. Working with a Interiors presents new and exciting challenges such as creating luminosity, creating interactions between figures, and picking up on the character of the coffee shop. The basics still apply of creating a good design based on a center of interest
In this study I want to develop a focal point with the barista and the espresso machine, extending the dark midtown through the figures which are painted as silhouettes and even into the background framework of the windows. I am using a single color, neutral tint which gives me a great range of tonal values.
