Tuesday

The people under the umbrellas was today's project. I wanted to keep them more or less undefined, so as not to draw too much attention to the individual figures. With the umbrellas bunched together and the planter boxes all around; the breakfast cafe becomes more of a unit in the middle of the street, so you look at the whole. Now I can play around with the light and shadows on the foreground, I'll see if I can come up with an interesting pattern to lead the eye into the painting.
