A loose pen and wash sketch capturing a vanished moment in Sunderland's history — a red double-decker tram rolling beneath the great iron arches of the Wearmouth Bridge on a bright, bustling day. Expressive ink lines trace the bold geometry of the bridge's steel framework, while soft Inktense washes in cool blue and warm green bring light and atmosphere to the scene. Figures on the street — a cyclist, a pedestrian, a crowd by the kerb — give the city its life and movement.
Painted in a spontaneous urban sketch style, this piece celebrates a piece of North East heritage, reimagining the streets of Sunderland as they once were, full of character and colour.
