Baked in Kansas City

This has been one of those days that I have been pulled in so many directions, I hardly know what to do next.  Here I am, at the end of my day, with many things still left to do!  Though I've been sketching people at intervals today, I realize that I haven't posted this one from the Roasterie, so here it is.  I will clump the others together tomorrow for the #urbansketcherskc page.  I like to use India ink first when I'm going to go in with watercolor.  It does not bleed with water, unless it is very fresh or dropped onto a wet surface, and THEN it spreads in a very interesting way indeed!  I really enjoyed capturing this baker at his work.  I'm sure I will return to this place again and again.  Painting number 1874 in 1874 days.

Baked ATC

Working in miniature on this interior scene at the Roasterie.  "Baked" is behind glass, and it is such a convenient place to watch AND paint!  This tiny painting was the roadmap for a larger piece, executed with more detail.  I had intended some of these for a city show, but alas, was just too busy to apply.  Oh well, it is all about the process, and this is something I really want to explore this year!  Painting number 1851 in 1851 days.
