I just love the contrast of the warm red brick against the cool effects of the overall picture.

Morning Light Kings Road (2) Chelsea Marathon

This my second shot at the Chelsea Marathon.

Here I have used Graphite which is my best medium!

I worked purely indoors for this one.

The ability to get the effects of sunlight with graphite lies wholly on the manipulation of tones to suit the scene. When using graphite in landscapes, the one thing missing is temperature. It's only based on tones and I really love tones.

I have been at my studio at Lots Road for almost 10 years and I haven't painted this scene. This is why this marathon comes in handy because it helps me to be able to take up some places that are nearby but never really explored with paint.

Adebanji painting the scene.

This building has been here for a while!  I really love the colours of the paint that has been stripped back from the construction works going on. I decided to capture the effect of the light in the morning as it pours out from behind.

This is the painting set up on Lots Road
