Trafalgar Square London 359

Trafalgar Square, London 359 Acrylic on Stretched Canvas 30cm x 40cm x 2cm (12 inches x 16 inches x 0.5 inches)

This little, cute study painted was painted many years ago when I would go and paint and sketch famous landmarks in London as a student and for practice.
Trafalgar Square was not as busy as it is today except in the summer when it was always hard to find a spot out the way to paint and usually with my back to the wall to stop tourist coming up behind and taking photos or even pushing me to get a better view.
The style is modern quick and Setchey which I like a lot as it captures something more true to live thane any finished work would be. You will notice a technic I used was to paint flat plan colour then allow to dry and the draw in dark lines and the add highlights to finish off the quick sketch painting. It's a style I found and adopted over years in my City of London Paintings, which I am well known for. It must be an adaptation for studying the artist Raoul Dufy.
Sides are painted.
This seance was painted many time in watercolours back in the studio, and I had taken a few photos before digital mobile phones. This little painting was painted at the place back in the studio, a few adjustments were made. Still a lovely piece of work with potential, as my teachers would say. Recently Singed.
Every Artist should paint their wonderful and perfect monuments in and around London there are hundreds to choice and best of all they don't move and have perfect bright light to paint with.
