Street scene with housing in a residential quarter of Dieppe France

Fine quality brush and wash painting of a residential area of Dieppe. This work has been executed using a fine brush and black Indian ink, thinned to accentuate changes in light and shade. Where a lighter touch is called for the artist has used a thinner solution of ink dragging an almost dry brush over the surface of the paper. The multi layers of housing draws ones eye through the painting resulting in a dramatic expressionist picture.

Painted while the artist was on holiday in France
