Pen&ink, watercolor and color pencils on HP watercolor paper 10 in x 7 in

I thought about doing this sketch with less intense watercolor washes. There’s something very agreeable about this. First I applied a light wash to set the ambiance of the place. I used yellowish wash on the right, the light coming through the big windows lighted the ride side on this view. And during the same wash I applied a bluish wash on the left and let the washes merged at the center. I used color pencils to fill the foods and drinks displayed, it seemed convenient. Few people were seated, most customers came in and out, that seems to be the pace of life here.
