Monk's Barn

Monk's Barn, Newport

In this painting you can see Monk’s Barn in Newport, Essex. This painting is done from one of own pictures.

I have used pen and wash to create this piece and then gone back in with a fine liner to create more texture. I feel this piece has worked very well as it has great depth. The first very fluid movement of the clouds and roofs is then sharpened up with the addition of the mark making techniques in the wooden frame. Also I believe the structure of the picture has added to the piece as is allows the viewer to get a feel of the atmosphere which the building creates of sheer domination because it is the focus of the whole piece.
