Skenfrith Castle |
|
|
I visited Skenfrith for the first time this week, and came upon the castle early in the evening with its long contrasting shadows. I sketched in situ with pen and paper and then worked up this image the next day. The process is quite a long one, first preparing a background on canvas in acrylic and then identifying the shapes that caught my eye. Then coloured swatches are selected and re arranged continually to achieve some kind of harmony and balance
I am doing this and other collage paintings to show next week in Neville Hall hospital out patients department. .
