Muristan St Old City Jerusalem
Jul 04, 2015
Jerusalem, Israel, 15" x 11".
A side street in the Old City area of Jerusalem. Mainly souvenir shops and cafes here with their curved blinds (tricky to get right and the perspective). Again, I am trying to connect all the shapes with some deep shadows, shadows which are cooler at the bottom with a touch of cobalt blue. Also in this painting I did a bit of scraping out with the sharp end of a nail file. You have to scrape when the paint is still moist and timing is important - too early and the gap you made closes out, too late and you damage the surface of the paper.
