Original artwork description:
In this dramatic 'contra jour' painting, the sun directly in front, I have composed two people standing on the steps leading to Westminster Bridge to look at the impressive scene of the parliament buildings silhouetted against the light sky. The primary sketch was painted in situ, this work, employing a dark mixed from burnt umber and French ultramarine, was painted in my studio.
Techniques used were the full range of masking, wet in wet washes, dry brush and sharp detail.
All paintings are wrapped and packed in robust card and posted
within one working day in the UK, slightly longer internationally.
