Paintings of the Tyne
Paintings of Tyne Bridge have always been on demand and I’m always on the lookout for a different angle. This particular view titled Quayside Morning Mist was inspired from seeing the Tyne Bridge one morning after a business breakfast meeting at the Slug & Lettuce. The morning had started off dull, dim, dark and damp. By the time I had left the meeting, the sun had begun to filter through the early morning mist. Its rays were bursting through the iconic structure of the magnificant Tyne Bridge.
The light was changing rapidly so there was no way I was going to be able to paint on location. I took a number of photographs. I also used previous sketches made on Newcastle’s Quayside. This A4 studio watercolour on hand made deckled edged paper is the result. I deliberately kept my palette simple. This was to create extra mood and atmosphere with just a tiny dot of red for the traffic light on the left.
Only a few of my Paintings of the Tyne Bridge have been reproduced as a limited edition prints. This one has proved to be very popular, available both online and from my Studio & Gallery in Ponteland.
