About the Artwork
Ross says:
This mixed media work, is possibly the first time ever, I combined a pen & watercolour with acrylic at this scale.
Initially, I drew the Blackpool Tower & foreground image with a Staedtler 0.1 pigment liner. Then infilled the pen lines with watercolour. After overlaying the artwork with a coat of Liquitex Medium, I proceeded to add acrylic colour, mostly around the perimeter, applied with various sized palette knifes.
Ross still regards this painting as a unique piece of his artwork!
