Evening Light, Chelsea Riverside (19) Chelsea Marathon, 10" x 8", Oil on Board

This particular one is number 19 of my series of paintings and drawings of the Chelsea Riverside.


This is a view I really love and I like the way the colours explode when the sun goes down around the Chelsea Moorings.

The reflections are another great feature of this area when the sun is either going up or coming down.

The Initial Sketch- I have made sure that I get the drawing right, I always feel the painting has more hope to succeed when the drawing is right. This is vital!



To capture the light is always the goal and keeping the painting fresh and simplified!

Mid-Way through- I have worked with the "outside-in" technique here blocking in everything from the outside, all the broad shapes and then finishing inside with the details
