It immediately struck me as a scene I would love to paint, so I made some quick sketches and took lots of photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this is such a busy scene, I spent a lot of time in the planning stage simlifying shapes and omitting unecessary details. I restricted my palette to cool tones that would offset the warm tones of the lights. I changed the colors of coats, hats, and even cars to fit in with this theme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsually, the figures in my paintings are much sketchier, but here - since they're standing still and a important part of the composition right in the foreground - I felt it was important to give them personalities. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rachael Grimm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48893356998809,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9793\/2953\/files\/OutsidetheMoMa.Grimm.jpg?v=1786991515","url":"https:\/\/www.atelier-modern.com\/products\/outside-the-moma","provider":"Atelier Modern","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
