Have you ever noticed how some areas of cities look like they could be any city? You could be anywhere in the world, but in a city you're struck by the height of the buildings. Sure, there are distinctive structures that help you identify where you are but many buildings are constructed in similar styles and as you look up in some areas you could be in anywhere.

This is one of those places

Creation
The picture is painted on watercolour paper. I draw the lines with masking fluid to a planned arrangement before painting it with a watercolour wash which gets covered with clingfilm. Once this is removed the picture is further developed using acrylic inks which are left to dry before the masking is removed to reveal the final picture.
