Street Scene in acrylics by Hashim Akib

Many of you will remember Hashim coming to Club and demonstrating a night street scene, so this time a daytime street scene was chosen

I must admit my reaction when I saw it was WOW!  However, Hashim led us through his technique making it look so easy.  Hashim uses very large flat brushes, if I remember correctly his smallest in 1″, and like a lot of acryclic painters has a very large palette with deep wells with a lot of paint in them.  His brush strokes are at varied angles and the brush has more than one complimentary colour on it.  This gives the painting it’ liveliness.

This was a brilliant demonstration and as we are learning from our Zoom demos it give us a real close-up of how the painters apply the strokes because we are virtually looking over their shoulders.

Our thanks and best wishes to Hashim for a great evening which was enjoyed by everyone.
