Day 334 – Inner Bean

2 Comments

  

Inner Bean is almost all shades of grey so a lot of fun to sketch it and paint it with all those shades of grey and black by mixing blues and Browns to get different greys. 

There were a lot of patrons coming and going getting take outs and their awesome coffee to go. The wierd guy in the blue plaid shirt was really into his coffee while he waited for his fellow members of the Mens Club that meets every Thursday afternoon til closing at the Bean. 

Most of the other colors were straight out of my paint box. Off course I used my Noodler Creaper Ahab and Carbon Platinum Black ink both of which can be bought at Goulet Pens on the Internet. 

 Thanks for reading!!

Day 292- Inner Bean

I love go sit in the inner bean and sketch the diners but I have never drawn it from this angle before. I say in the middle of the place drawing and nobody noticed me. They were all too busy with their conversations. 

There were all kinds of coffee things to draw from this angle. So many cups!!! 

I started by drawing the bar and as people filtered in I added them to the scene. Biggest problem is the counter is so high you can’t see the moms and their worker bees fixing coffee and sandwiches and cutting the delicious cakes. 

For some strange reason a lot of people were wearing black. It’s spring and it was Friday. Where are the bright colors?! I actually changed some of the black shirts to other colors or it would have been deathly dull. 

  
Noodler creaper Ahab loaded with carbon platinum black in my Stillman and Birn Zeta. 

Colors used. Flesh DS Quin Coral and Yellow Ochre 

The black – Indigo and Ultramarine Blue With burnt umber added now and then. 

Orange or red hair is actually the Quin Coral with yellow added to it. 

Otherwise most of the colors were straight off my pallette with little mixing. 

Thanks for looking!
