This title will mean nothing to anybody outside of Brighton and Hove! King Alfred's is the area of Hove where this scene is located, a somewhat run down place ripe for development I would have thought but I like run down seaside places!
Another in my occasional series of generally moonlit Brighton and Hove seafront paintings this one is all about the reflections of the moonlit sky in the foreground puddle and follows on from a couple of recent paintings that had reflections on water as part of the composition, this time the reflections take centre stage. This is partly because I am developing a way of painting them and I need to see if I can do it on a larger area this time.
This is the tonal underpainting stage when I first "drew" it up with a small bristle brush using a mix of Burnt Sienna and Winsor Violet thinned with Liquin and then the tone was put in with the same mix using a rag and a Flat brush.
