I have just finished on a somewhat unusual commission for me – a streetscape. The painting is 35 x 45 cm in size and it is painted with acrylics on stretched canvas. It took a while for me to paint this one due to the amount of elements in the photo. There was a lot of colours used, but I tried to keep my palette restricted so as to preserve the harmony in the painting. It is a night scene too which made it even more interesting for me. I could really play with the contrast of the lights and the dark shadows. I think painting in the lights at the end was like a cherry on a cake. It made the painting really come together. Anyway, I hope you all like it.
I know I haven’t been posting for a while. I have been very busy in the studio, but holiday comes at last. I will have some time off. But before I do that, I will update the blog with some recent paintings and drawings that I didn’t get a chance to put up.
