Scudamore’s at Magdalene Bridge, Cambridge
£1,200.00
Cambridge is a stone’s throw away from home so I pop over to brush up on my plein-air painting skills when possible. This painting was created one autumn afternoon on a bright but cold day in October. I started, as usual, by mapping out the scene using raw umber and a little Gamsol odourless mineral spirit with a small long-handled filbert brush. The path on my left matched the ground of the board perfectly so that was my natural way to block in the rest of the painting with areas of muted colour and tone. The distant college buildings were blue-ish in comparison to the nearer bridge and buildings with their orange tint. This defined my colour palette to: cerulean blue; raw sienna; and titanium white. Once I’d blocked in the painting, I moved on to objects of interest and defining details that made the scene. I usually work left to right so I’m not smudging the previous layer. I used cadmium colours for the figures and nearer objects of interest and finished the painting off with a few accents and highlights.’
