City News


First layers going down, the news paper is a reproduction
prince of a Victorian print

City News

Acrylics on Canvas
12 x 31.5"
I have had this item playing around in my head while
I would love to go a little more while with it & if I ever paint it again
I will try to go another step out of my comfort zone.
Art is like life, each new step you take you learn a little more.

I tried this painting on a smaller scale, which we named capitol news.
I got really good feedback from it & that gave me the confidence to go a bit bigger
& bolder


Still working on the paint layers, it took roughly
3 weeks to produce this painting
waiting for bits to dry before proceeding.

Finished painting



I have painted round the sides so it doesn't require
framing


close up of buildings, you can just about read the
Victorian print articles


Working with mixed media is fun & you can get some
really interesting pieces of work




The painting will be finished with a final layer of varnish
to protect from dust & damp
before being ready for sale.
