Racing the cable car - oil painting

During the Swindon Big Arts Day, I did a demonstration of oil painting. I tried to take photographs at regular intervals to show you the process.



Usually, I work on tinted background, but I did not have any canvas ready for the size I wanted.



The whole surface is covered with paint thinned with Sansodor (the odourless solvent from Winsor & Newton)



Time to put in the people on the cable car and the cyclist.





I treat the houses in background are treated in an abstract way.





For the foreground, I use a palette knife.

Time to refine the details.
