My art teacher brought in some black and white photographs for us to choose from.
There were loads but, I really liked this scene so decided to give it a try. The only criteria we had to follow was that it must be Mixed Media.
I opted for Watercolours and pen. I also felt I wanted to try a different approach to how I normally work. So, I decided to try a loose, sketchy feel to it. I wanted to convey the feeling of actually being there and the spontaneity of the painting rather than feeling as though it had been painted from a photograph. I think it was fairly successful but, I’ll let you decide what you think. I’ve posted the finished painting under the Mixed Media Paintings Tab.
