The reference photo I used for this painting: https://imgur.com/a/mQNXI
Just a simple painting I did during a YouTube live stream to memorize an interesting restaurant we saw the other day with Kana.
It’s a tiny place squeezed under a staircase on the platform of Fujisawa station. We were really surprised how small it was (I don’t know why didn’t they make it just a meter or so bigger). It barely fits 4 people that stand while eating their soba or udon noodles.
It also has an vending machine outside with which one selects the food and buys a ticket handed to the person inside. It’s a strange place indeed but looks kind of old so probably it is in operation there for few good years already.
I also painted this to test a paper sample I got recently from Canson - Canson Heritage hot pressed watercolor paper. It’s good paper performing well with watercolors for something with almost no texture. I would recommend it more for paints that use less water, like gouache or poster colors or for more delicate watercolor work (like botanical painting).
