Bishopsgate London - WIP stages
 |
| WIP stages of Bishopsgate/ Liverpool street oil painting |
This landscape oil painting is of a
central/ east London view. The area is known as Bishopsgate on the
edge of the busy financial district of the city. Painted on mounting
board, the artwork measures 33” x 24” approx, and the image above
shows progressive work on the painting.
In the first panel can be seen the
drawing, done in dark brown acrylic paint on a yellow ochre 'ground'
wash, also done in acrylics. I use such paint for this part of the
process as it is quick drying, rather than oil paint. Next the oil
paintings are opened and a basic colour wash is applied with the
paints being diluted with thinner as seen in the 2nd
panel. The colours and tones are 'blocked in' to give a rough
indication of the direction of the artwork. Once this level is dry
then thicker paint levels are applied with careful views to getting
the correct colours and tones. Also details are added at this stage,
as can be viewed in the 3rd panel. Finally the 4th
panel shows the finished oil painting of this urban landscape.
The artwork can be seen in detail on
this link.
