FOCUS WEEK 03.2007


Docklands Painting

I started to paint the abstract plan of the docklands, which i had planned out during my previous focus week. I used oils to paint the docks on top of the acrylic background. It took me a few goes to get the right colours. I thought it might have looked better with more rustic colours to suit the urban activity the docks once saw, however these bright and vivid colours represent the hope and excitement i have for the area in the future. I need to wait for the oils to dry before i begin the boarders around the docks and then the last part will be blending different oils for the thames. I'm looking forward to seeing the final product!
