Bristol steps at Templemeads Landscapes the local market throughout theThis mixed media work is from a sketch I made whilst in Bristol Templemeads. The steps, the sculpture and architecture intrigued me. I shall be using these drawings and mixed media to make large paintings of the city using bold colours and generous shapes one against another.
