Street Banner, Mudanya, Turkey
Jul 19, 2015
Mudanya, Turkey, 15" x 11".
So it makes a change having a banner across the street rather than telecoms cables - well it's a telecom's banner. This is Marmara coastal town of Mudanya, Turkey. My reference photo was taken on an overcast day, but I tried to introduce some light on the car tops. Also a bit of bright red - a patch on each side. In fact the first wash had a lot of alizarin crimson on the left side.
Wonderfully sharp contrast, you managed to include lots of detail without painting it.

Thanks Doug. It is surprising how some watercolour brush strokes just seem to work.
