This watercolour was specially commissioned to celebrate a happy event.
The colours are:
- Mars Yellow
- Fired Gold Ochre
- Ultramarine Blue
- Burnt Umber
- plus some Horadam Random Grey, some Daniel Smith Green Serpentine Genuine, and Pyrrol Red for the street sign and road marker.
- Gold paint for the lettering.
Admire the bricks! I am very pleased with this effect. It was done by applying a rubber resist, “pebeo drawing gum” to the paper before I did any painting. The paint does not adhere to the rubber resist. When I had done all the colour, I rubbed off the rubber resist and hey presto! bricks.
Thank you to my client for their encouraging words and for inspiring me to make this picture of The Sekforde. Here are some details of the drawing.
I have sketched The Sekforde previously, see this link: The Sekforde, Clerkenwell
UPDATE:
My client kindly sent me photos of the framed picture!
