Motorway Bridge - Topsham Devon

For my next painting I've used as reference a photo my Dad took of the motorway bridge spanning the River Exe at Topsham.

I was really pleased with sky and really like the drama and the way it created a focal point in the middle of the painting. The composition is debatable, I think, being very heavy on the mid-ground with very little background, but I still like it!

Here's the finished painting, hope you like it. I may post more thoughts about it later but it's a bit late right now...

Thanks for reading, see you soon.

Final attempt at the moorland scene

Well... I feel a lot happier with the composition in this attempt at the picture. Really enjoyed doing all three paintings so far and will move on to another composition which I will post about later.

I like some of it more than the other two paintings but there are bits of it that haven't turned out quite as well as the second painting (which I think is the best of the three, even though I prefer this one's composition). Basically it's all about lots and lots of practise! So until next time, thanks for reading and here's the moorland scene:
