Diversion (Muswell Hill Study) Drawing

This drawing is a quick dynamic sketch which was inspired by a beautiful sunrise scene in Muswell Hill, North London. I was interested in the tension between opposite directions here: dog pulling woman one way, road signs pointing the other. This is a drawing for lovers of the artistic process and materials. It was made with creamy oil pastels on cartridge paper primed with a ground of bright yellow acrylic paint, which you can clearly see in the background and gives the work its luminosity. You will also be able to spot some foundational grid lines that guided the composition. There is a white border (approx 4 mm) which can be displayed in full view or hidden under a mount when framing. This study later led to a larger painting of the same subject (which you can see on my website and will be exhibited later this year in London).
