This was so fun to paint!! Although a little daunting too as many artists over the years have painted this subject standing on Academia Bridge from Monet to Ken Howard…
We are very lucky as this bridge is a few minutes walk from our house. It’s a dream subject for me, wonderful shapes within sky and water setting, and it changes every day and hour! So I hope you can bear with me for painting it several times while I’m here 🙂
The buildings make such a great skyline shape but the actual body of the buildings its deciding how much detail to put in. The low light means you can’t see much and it’s quite far away. But I felt it needed some suggestion of windows and things. As I paint this scene more I think I will experiment with how much to include.
