Impressionistic city street scene by artist Alan J. Benge

In this urban scene, my aim was to portray the wet surface of the road after rain with blurred outlines of buildings on either side of the composition.
The colours were chosen deliberately to enhance the dull mood of the day, with black blobs to represent pedestrians.  Telephone poles added to the background perspective.  The intention was to work quickly, with a loose, relaxed style.  White highlights added while the acrylic paint was wet, added finishing touches to the composition. The picture did not take long to complete - the total time taken was approximately an hour and a half, given the odd halt for a cup of tea and biscuit.
