Glastonbury Festival Illustration For William Green Field

The William Green Field

Liam O'Farrell helps a client to preserve a permanent memory of the The William Green Field at the Glastonbury Festival.

Liam's client has been visiting the festival for many years and wanted their favourite view captured in the form of a painting. As Liam lives just across the field from the music festival, he had plenty of his own drawings and photos as well as images from the internet to set to work, he explains, "Once I had a fair library together, I worked up a drawing containing the main features of the site. Thankfully, there is a tower to the left and a vast sculpture to the right so it allowed me to frame it up rather neatly. In between it gets massively busy with people moving from stage to stage with others who sit about eating and drinking in the (hopeful) sunshine. This meant plenty of figure drawing which I enjoy greatly." Luckily for the client, Liam was also able to get his neighbour Michael Eavis to sign the painting too!
