A mix of titanium white, King’s blue and a touch of yellow ochre was brushed in across the whole sky, using a Jackson’s 1in Flat brush.
I added a touch of cobalt blue to the top and quinacridone red towards the horizon, and carefully blended them together to give me a graduation effect.
Further work was done on the marquees, adding more shape to them and indicating the shadow side of each with a mid-grey mix. I cleaned up the buildings, strengthening some areas again, and indicating the shadows.
Finally, I dropped in a few rows of cars, using simple dashes of various colours then smudged them and created lines with a knife.
On reflection, I think that I achieved what I initially had in mind: a simple impression of a complex scene that shows something of the overall flavour of Patchings Art Centre.
I have visited Patchings Art Centre on many occasions, usually to submit my TALP Open entries, which have enjoyed a fair degree of success over the years. It is, without doubt, my favourite competition, with tremendous prizes to win.
