About the image:
Piccadilly Station will always signify coming home to me. When I first left home to study in Oxford, I went by train from here. And here is where I returned. Usually over laden with bags, I’ve never been able to pack light.
Piccadilly Station, like the rest of Manchester, has changed a lot over the years. In some ways friendlier and in others, more bleak. As the area around has been developed, many of the old buildings have disappeared to be replaced by shiny new ones. Other buildings have continued their slow decline. Change is inevitable, but whether it’s a good thing or not depends on how.
The original 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 original picture was created in England in 2017.
