Work In Progress: Ashton under Lyne, Tameside

This is another small 20x30 cm oil painting of Ashton Under Lyne market, I have painted the market on numerous occasions and keep referring back to old photographs a took. Unfortunately the outdoor market has been redesign and doesn't look this way anymore, this painting took longer to do then the last small painting. I think its because I did an underpainting first where with the Pensarn Beach panting of same proportions I just applied the final top layer. I wont have time to finished today nor maybe this week but hopefully Ill complete it at the weekend, the painting so far.

WIP Pensarn Beach , Abergele, North Wales, UK

After doing the small 8x6 "The Nelson in Snow, Stockport" I wanted to buy some smaller canvases hopefully by doing some smaller paintings I will one be able to produce them quicker and get more brush mileage and most of all I would be able too loosen up and have more of a painterly approach. I'm spending way too long slaving over the larger paintings I feel I'm not producing hardly any work since I left college last year. This picture was taken a few weeks back on my local beach which is only about 5 minutes walk away. This is a Oil painting done in one sitting and is on a 20x30cm canvas board. Once the painting is dry I will varnish it and get a better photo of the painting.

WIP "Only at Blackpool"

After looking at the painting I have decided to changed a few of the Super hero's characters, two of them were the same in the photograph so I'm going to change one. One I think was supposed to be the Joker the one with the purple cape I didn't feel it so I added Spiderman and Robin now I'm waiting for it too dry a bit.

WIP "Only at Blackpool"

I have always liked Blackpool brings back childhood memories and also memories of my mum. This one was taken in Blackpool a few years ago, I haven't been for a few years will have to go back soon. I stated my drawing the photograph, painted with a turpsy wash of oil paints, later on I inserted the painting into Photoshop and decided to add a few more people. Once I was happy I then painted in the new characters, at the moment the painting is too wet to continue with once its dry I shall carry on.
