Trains, buses are very good places to capture people & poses ideas. I sometimes have a fantasy of setting up an easel in a packed train … ride & paint…
This is an expression of that, based on a large pastel crayon drawing I did long ago. There’s also an earlier painting of the same sketch which I did about that time (the long ago time), which is now lost. I have a few on the ‘lost‘ list… It’s a bit disturbing.
This version has brilliant colours, lots of white overlays and rough brush strokes to bring movement to the scene.
The close up picture is to get a better feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting. Then there’s the work in progress, me with the painting for perspective, and me with the pastel crayon sketch.
Interested to have your idea painted in this style? Maybe a storyboard collage from a recent travel? Contact me.
