Ashness Bridge, Borrowdale




I started this at a workshop run by Sue Slack who has a distinctive style in paintings of the North York Moors area. Loving my holidays around Keswick, I chose a photograph of Ashness Bridge as my subject matter. I started by covering the whole canvas in orange acrylic paint, then worked upside down, identifying areas of countryside and painting them with a different base coat.
Next came the detailing, working with the picture the right way up. I loved the technique and I’ll try it again – I have in mind to try working from my photograph of Grange Bridge in the same style.
The painting is currently for sale on eBay - paintingandplants
