Taking a break from my series of watercolours, I thought that I would do something with acrylics. I have to give an acrylic painting demonstration in Blackpool next week and decided to feature this piece which I posted on my blog some years ago. It is done with square brushes to block in colour and, hopefully, encourages looseness and produces a more painterly piece, which some people prefer. I like to have a run through of a demonstration to ensure that I can complete it in the allotted time and this one is a bit bigger than the normal size I demonstrate.

I really like the shadows on this painting and the way everyone is looking away. It gives it a restful feeling and draws my eye to look further.

Thanks Jo. I have considered having the fellah walking towards the viewer, so it’s interesting to hear your take on it.
