| Main Street at Night 8” x 10” Acrylic on archival Gessobord (1/8” flat) Chris Breier © 2015 |
Last summer, I took a walk down Main Street on a very hot and humid summer night. I had been wanting to paint a nocturne for awhile so I took my camera with me with to take a few reference photos. The heavy traffic on Main Street was a problem because I didn’t want the cars to be the focal point of the painting. I waited until the light turned red to keep them at a distance, the traffic light also created a nice red reflection in the street and provides a warm contrast against the dark blue sky.
