Here is the Market Café, which is at the South end of Broadway Market, near the canal.
I’ve sketched the Market Café before, and written about it on this post. This latest sketch was a commission to celebrate a happy event which took place there.
Here are some details from the sketch:
It was a bright and cold day. I did the pen and ink on location.
The photographer Nick Hillier came by and took some photographs of me working, which he kindly sent me later.
I added the colours at my desk. The colours are:
- for the brickwork: Fired Gold Ochre
- all the greys and blacks are: Ultramarine Blue plus Burnt Umber
- the sky is Phthalo Blue Turquoise
- the green tiles are Serpentine Genuine
- there’s a bit of Permanent Yellow Deep on some of the highlights and some dots of Transparent Pyrrol Orange
- the fine white lines are made by using a rubber resist gum. I use Pebeo drawing gum.
For my current palette see this link. I have 12 colours in my palette. For most pictures I fewer colours. This picture used about 7 colours.
Thank you to my client H for the commission and for allowing me to post this image here.
I’ve sketched around the Broadway Market area before. See this link for a sketch of Climpson Coffee, and here is a sketch done at E5 bakery on the other side of London Fields.
