Brooklyn Bar Scene

 My wife and I were fortunate enough to take another trip out to New York this month. It was very relaxing, and inspiring. Kinda got my creative juices revitalized. I did a little bit of sketching and painting while there and want to explore what I did in the moment a little bit more at home. The above piece is a watercolor I painted in a cozy little bar in Brooklyn (yes these people actually had these hairdos). Below that I did a quick pass in Photoshop for fun. The second pass is much closer to the actual lighting in the bar, though i did push it a little for dramatic effect.

More NYC paintings coming soon.

Cheers!
