London Piccadilly Circus with evening light - WIP stages
London Piccadilly Circus with evening light - WIP stages
 |
| WIP stages of the Piccadilly Circus oil painting |
The panel above shows progress in three
stages of the painting 'London Piccadilly Circus with evening light'
finished during April 2019. The first picture shows the drawing of
the scene done with brown acrylic paint applied on a brown wash. The
sky area has been filled in with some white acrylic paint as a rough
base at this stage as it is the lightest item in tone in the image
when compared to the other elements in this landscape painting.
Moving on, the second panel shows the scene with underpainting
applied using oil paint. This level acts as a colour base to
illustrate basic tones and colours within the painting. The last
panel shows the finished painting, in which the oil paint has been
applied on top of the previous, dried layers, in a thicker
consistency and with the correct colour values and details added. The
artwork of the London scene measures 60” x 40”.

Men At Northam Southampton Boat Yard - WIP stages
Men At Northam Southampton Boat Yard - WIP stages
 |
| WIP stages of boats at a Northam boat yard oil painting. |
The Northam area of the city of
Southampton in Hampshire, features a number of boat yards as it is
located on the river Itchen. This painting, completed in January 2019
features a scene of a drydock with men preparing to use a crane to
place a boat in to the river from the dry land.
The picture above shows a number of
stages of how the painting was created. The first stage shows the
drawing which is done with dark, brown acrylic paint on top of a wash
of a similar colour. The dark tones within the scene are painted in
as are very light in tone subjects, such as the sky, using white
acrylic paint. The middle panel shows work moved on where now oil
paint has been used to indicate the underpainting, often in darker
hues of the final intended colours, and is achieved by using diluted,
thin paint. Detail is still quite basic at this stage. The last panel
features the final, finished artwork. It can be seen that the colours
are now correct, having been applied with thick oil paint and also
details regarding the surfaces and lighting, are now included.
The painting can be seen on this link.
