Alan Reed Commissions
In 2024 I received a commission to paint a client’s shop on Clayton Street Newcastle. After several trips to Clayton Street at different times of the day, photographing different viewpoints, we decided on the view. An A4 watercolour study was the next step.
From the various photographs and the A4 study I was able to complete the commission which the client was delighted with.
Other original watercolours are available of Newcastle including this one titled Grey Street, Skyfall.
