Street Market Danang

The challenge this painting posed was in the plastics that were used as part of the hawkers’ requirements to keep themselves dry and their fruits and vegetables fresh. Raincoats, baskets, plastic sheets of different colours were displayed in the painting. I tried to display the shimmer and shine of the plastics.

I worked from a photograph as a reference but added more varieties of fruits and vegetables. I then had to rearrange the display to accommodate more fruits. Pigeons as usual would also make their presence felt.
