Newcastle Tyne Colours Mug

Newcastle Tyne Colours Mug. 10oz white photo mug with a wraparound panoramic watercolour ‘Splash’ painting of the Newcastle Gateshead Quayside printed on the mug. The painting features the iconic buildings and bridges along the quayside. This includes the Sage Gateshead, Tyne Bridge, Newcastle Castle and Grey’s Monument. The dome of the Monument Mall is located close to the handle of the mug. Bright, bold yellows, reds, purples and greens are the main colour used in this painting. The buildings are bright and solid colour, with the ‘splash’ going up into the sky and flowing down from the buildings and bridges to the base of the painting.

This original watercolour painting is by local artist Louisa E. Taylor and is part of her ‘Splash of Toon‘ range of paintings. Each painting features a unique arrangement and selection of buildings, bridges and landmarks from the Newcastle Gateshead skyline. After deciding on the arrangement of elements, each watercolour painting is created with a completely different colour pallet. The colours that work for one arrangement, so often, just don’t work for a different one. This is often down to the way the buildings and bridges are arranged for the painting. It does make each painting unique and it also makes the whole range of paintings varied and suited to be hung on a wide variety of different colour painted walls. The interesting thing with the ‘Splash of Toon’ mugs, is the fact you get to see different elements depending upon the viewing angle to the mug. It is something that you want to pick up and turn round and enjoy. Just don’t spill your tea or coffee. The text on the front, bottom of this mug reads ‘newcastle’
