London Brick Lane - WIP stages
 |
| Painting of London's Brick Lane in stages |
This painting depicts a sunny day on
this famous street in London's east end. Brick Lane has had a
chequered past but is now known for its many curry houses and the
thriving artist community locally, with Gilbert & George, and
Tracey Emin living in the area.
The panel shows working progress stages
of the artwork, with the first panel illustrating the drawing, done
in acrylic brown paint on a yellow ochre 'ground' colour. In the
second panel everything has been given a blocking in of colour, using
diluted oil paint to work out the colours and tonal values. Some
elements have had more work done than other elements, meaning that
further thicker paint levels have been added and details refined.
Finally the last panel shows the finished painting, on which all the
details are finally applied and the paintwork built up to represent
the intended colours. It measures 40” x 60”, and is painted on
canvas.
