Demo, Hashim Akib 9 June 2018​

Around 40 people gathered for Hashim's demo this Saturday where he gave us a choice of 3 London cityscape photos for him to use as reference. This one was the resounding favourite. He started by mixing many colours roughly on his palette to make a greyish tone but with lots of colour showing. He built up the painting first with broad strokes of varying colour and then with more precise strokes to depict the shapes of buildings and people loosely and without drawing. He finished off by adding highlights to bring it all to vibrant life! All were mesmerised by the process. Thank you Hashim for another wonderful demo!
