Hot Concrete

Hot Concrete depicts a sunny but quiet scene, captured through the medium of oil pastels and collage in a soft, pastel colour palette. The composition centres around a woman crossing the road, their back turned to the viewer as they start their morning journey. The range of neutral and grey tones create a sense of tranquillity and stillness, with subtle variations in colour and texture adding depth and dimension to the scene. The sky above is a blend of soft blues, with dots of white suggesting the movement of the air. The overall effect is one of peaceful contemplation, inviting the viewer to imagine the excitement/feeling of leaving your house in the morning and smelling summer.
