Southampton Bursledon Brickworks open day ART WIP


Martin davey artist hampshire Burlsedon oil painting
Bursledon Brickworks open day painting WIP stages
This panel shows an oil painting in stages, done in 2011. It features a scene at the Bursledon Brickworks, just outside of Southampton, in Hampshire, during an open day. A number of privately owned steam traction engines would be invited for display at the open weekend to join ones held by the brickworks on its premises, a heritage industrial museum.
In the first panel can be seen the basic line drawing done in brown acrylic paint on top of a brown 'base' wash. The second panel show further development with a wash using diluted oil paint to fill in basic tones and base colours. The final panel shows the finished art using oil paint straight out of the tube (undiluted). There would have been approx a weeks drying time between stage two and three.
The painting is done on a stretched canvas measuring 20” x 16”.
The finished painting can be seen here.
