About the Item

Spanish Market is an Original Painting by Eleanor Woolley. This painting is inspired by recent trips to Spanish markets in Malaga, the dozens of people in bright clothes and a washed out sunny feel. The Artist's love of shadows and contrast is pictured here with the use of impasto technique, the layering of the paint to give a rich and textured surface. The scene is one of a Spanish town on market day, many people layered over on another, with long blue and lavender shadows reaching into the foreground. A churches steeple and whitewashed buildings make up the skyline.

Her first true love for painting came from an inspirational Art teacher at Haberdashers Monmouth School for Girls where she started painting in Oils at thirteen years old. Here she learnt to paint using classic oil painting techniques, and was drawn to the figure from early life drawing lessons. During this period she was fortunate enough to work under Mary Fedden in her studio and with Portrait Sculptor Peter Lambda with whom she further developed her technique and composition. After gaining her BA Hons in Sculpture at Leeds University Eleanor travelled for some time in Asia before coming home to study Furniture making. Eleanor worked as a Cabinet maker and a Restorer before returning to Fine Art painting. Eleanor’s inspiration is taken from her surroundings where she has a love for the every day things, often passed by without a second thought. Eleanor’s paintings are vibrant, often painted Plein air and finished in the studio. Starting with bold outlines, many layers of paint are used to create the depth of colour. Her paintings are spontaneous, using washes of oil to create the desired form. Often finishing with a palette knife producing a pleasing texture. Her current work is inspired by the landscape of the Cotswolds, and contrasted with long shadows created by figures in urban landscapes.
