I have done a few more 'things' to the piece and I think this is it for this one.
I have used a very fine black pen and worked some of the lines around the 'painted' areas and then I used white paint to put a wash over the sign post to knock back the colour. I also added the small stand alone post on the left ...... one error ...... I removed the chain. I now have a shadow of an invisible chain. I need to remember this.
Great, Phil. Just the right amount of colour and detail in the background to make it interesting without detracting from the sign. Oh shucks about the chain! The white paint wash has knocked the bright colours back nicely.
ReplyDeleteYou should be very pleased with this piece.

Well done, Phil. I particularly like the way you've done the building.
