Winter Building Site Breaker - WIP stages

Winter Building Site Breaker - painting in stages

This painting, showing a 'breaker' on a building site was completed in November 2017. The wet and damp location is Northam, in East Southampton. 
The above image shows 3 stages of the artwork, which is painted in oils on mounting board, sized at 20" x 28".
In the first panel can be seen the initial drawing, done in brown acrylic paint over a reddish ground. Some white paint is also used to help suggest areas of light tone. The second panel now shows some base (darker) colours applied using oil paints on top of the acrylic, tonal painting. Also at this stage more detail is suggested. In the last panel can be viewed the final oil painting, correcting tone, colour and detail. This final piece of artwork can be viewed in greater detail via this link.
