Corner Store

Two days ago, an open parking spot facing the corner of Purdy Ave and Don Bosco Place in Port Chester, NY gave me a nice view to sketch the Felix Deli Grocery store.  I initially used a graphite pencil to sketch the building before adding a bit of white gouache and watercolor for the green awning.  I thought that awning was what made it interesting for me to sketch the scene.

    You are right about the awning. It gives it a bit of color as well as the bins and signs in the window. Nice!

    Thank you, Joan. It was a bit ghostly and uninteresting without the color.
