The H van Cafe was parked near the Hayward Gallery on a Grey day. There are so many street vendors in anLondon that quirky ones like this are not unusual, but I have a soft spot for H vans. It's a vintage style that endures. It's urban life at its basic, no frills. On a grey day like this when only the hardy venture to eat outside it looks abandoned.

The picture was initially drawn with pencil onto watercolour paper. These lines were then drawn over using masking fluid and then painted using watercolour paint and acrylic ink. Salt was also used in the process and some of the ink blown around using a straw. Once the painting was dry the masking fluid was removed to reveal the finished painting. The picture is 41cm high by 51cm wide and was created in England in 2016.
