A London Street scene of Piccadilly Circus with the stairs to an underground station in the foreground. People are milling around in a typical urban scene with buses and other traffic on the road. The sun is reflected off the terraced buildings in the distant street.
The picture is painted on Langton watercolour paper. I create a pencil image and then go over all the lines with masking fluid before painting it with a watercolour wash which gets covered with clingfilm. Once this is removed the picture is further developed using acrylic inks which are left to dry before the masking is removed to reveal the final picture.
I've taken video of much of this process with this painting which you can see in the videos on my profile
