This was drawn and painted from a ref image shared by a FB friend to encourage everyone to sketch and paint during the period of lockdown to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic in their own cities. Since the building in the ref photo is in shadow I decided to see the entire structure as a shape in dark tones. I turned to using a tube of liquidtex black for this study, painting direct on paper while diluting occasionally with water for different areas of tones, leaving the shadows with the thickest paint. My favourite among the studies during the month of April 2020.
