Lakeside Town

Lakeside Town is a 270mm x 170mm oil on watercolour paper, capturing the calm atmosphere of a waterfront sitting below a distant town, landscape format.

The composition centers on the dramatic interplay between a vast, sun-drenched sky and the fragmented reflections of a town mirrored in the water's surface. Darren’s expressive brushwork uses a palette of warm ambers and industrial umbers, contrasted against a towering, luminous sky to bring this piece together. By utilising the absorbent grain of the watercolour paper, Darren has achieved a sketch-like, abstract quality where the line between architecture and reflection becomes blurred, evoking a fleeting moment of stillness by the water.
