Trinity Church, by The Stray…

Tom Flint paints Trinity Church

I'm currently working on a painting of Trinity Church by The Stray. It's an exciting project because I've chosen a unique viewpoint that offers a perspective no one typically sees. The painting captures Trinity Church from above, situated on an island before a road. A key aspect of this painting is trying to capture the monumentality of Trinity Church, emphasising its grandeur and imposing presence.

Process of a work in progress…

Like my other paintings around Harrogate, I start by using vibrant acidic yellows, pinks, and greens to lay the foundation. From there, I experiment with chiaroscuro effects, playing with light and shadow to enhance the sense of scale and drama. Additionally, I'm aiming to capture the transient nature of the experience when being around this type of architecture. The unpredictable nature of the process adds an element of mysticism and awe, resulting in a final piece that feels fresh and new.
