Wolfson College Oxford – View from Rainbow Bridge – Original Painting

About the painting:

The painting of Wolfson College, Oxford – the view from Rainbow Bridge is the first of my Oxford series. A familiar sight, on the bank of Cherwell. You’re standing, viewing the college from the Rainbow Bridge. Below, the river flows, along with a few punts. It’s a grey day, so not too many punts are around. Although grey days, or even rain, will never stop a serious punter. Half the fun of the punting challenge is keeping the punt dry, as you pull up or down the river, but I digress decorous.

The sky hides parts of the college, as its white walls blend with the watery blue clouds. The sienna path from the bridge twisting its way to the right. Then rolling past the buildings out of sight. Directly in front the end block, comprising four floors symmetrically built. Each balcony commanding an idyllic view. Oxford, is a very green city, especially on the periphery and Wolfson is a peripheral college. (Read more)

 

Creation: Masking fluid is painted onto watercolour paper to create an image. This is covered with a watercolour wash and covered with clingfilm. The picture is further developed using acrylic inks once the film is removed. The masking is removed after several layers are added and allowed to dry. Revealing the final picture.
