The Swing Bridge Print
NewcastleGateshead Swing Bridge which spans the River Tyne is one of the region's must-see heritage landmarks. The Swing Bridge was built by the River Tyne Commission, under powers conferred by the Tyne Improvement Act of 1861, as part of their overall plan to improve navigation and expand trade by opening the upper reaches of the river to larger vessels. Work on the bridge began in 1873 and it was designed and constructed by Sir W.G. Armstrong and Company Limited of Elswick.
This is my painting of the swing bridge from Gatehead side, looking over to the buildings and church and also the castle keep, I painted this having the swing bridge as my prominent focal point, with the bright red popping in the painting, I have kept the buildings in the background quite simple, with not much detail so that your eye will go everywhere, but then return to the swing bridge.
