Chocolate Café Canterbury painting progress

The idea for this watercolour done from upstairs inside Chocolate Café Canterbury is to get half the painting inside the café and half of the view out of the window. The most difficult part being getting the same seat in what is a very busy café.

Anyway some of the people in the café got painted in today, people come and go in a busy café and they move about a fair bit, which makes it interesting.

I think the foreground will be mostly tables and chairs or perhaps tables with legs underneath, I think something like view down into the street where the perspective falls away more than in the rest of the picture.


Any ideas appreciated, the paper is a bit smaller A4 and not good quality, so once it’s marked it stays marked.
 These two photos are to help readers appreciate the suffering I have to endure paining from this position, they should expand if clicked on.

Post a Comment

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
