Painting Creation – Irwell Reflections

This weeks painting creation begins with the graphite image, and you can just make out the masking has begun in ernest.

And now for a spot of colour, shaped by cling film.

A bit more colour as the inks come into play. That wall on the right is very pink and, due to a printing error on my part, I was creating the right hand side with no reference image. I was delighted when I realised later that the colours were spot on.

And with more colours on the reflections are beginning to take place. The image is developing some nice details now. Almost there!
