Painted from a photo when I got back from Staithes. From some photos I took earlier in the year at Blackhall rocks. Trying to keep that plein air freshness without zooming in on the photo and getting to detailed. Learning to step back from my paintings. Edited into a perfect circle (haha) with a flat bit at the bottom as I have yet to figure out how to take a photo of a circle canvas without it rolling away, the easel cutting off the bottom or my head/camera shadow in the way. #acrylicpainting #seascape #cliffs #blackhallrocksbeach #blackhallrocksnaturereserve #blackhallrocks #paintedinthestudio #studiopaintings #winsorandnewtonprofessionalacrylics @winsorandnewton #seascapepainting #painting
Finished! It took a lot more work than I thought it would to get this one resolved. I’d been looking at a new book book on composition and so tried an L shaped image, but found the most difficult part the cliff in the foreground. It’s just there to lead the eye! It’s one I began before I went to staithes, and the difference and improvement in how I paint after one weekend away has been really highlighted as I am getting ready for the demo next month! #blackhallrocks #blackhallrocksbeach #blackhallrocksnaturereserve #pebblebeach #paintedoutside #startedpleinairfinishedinthestudio #clifftopview #tidesgoingout #northsea #northeastcoat #seascape #seascapepainting #acrylicpainting #winsorandnewtonprofessionalacrylics @winsorandnewton #acrylics #acrylicpainting #landscape
The first painting I did on my second day at Staithes. Didn’t start it until the afternoon, was lead astray by @jaymaypay and had a much needed lunch of fish and chips (diary free!) at the Cod and Lobster. Watching @haideejosummers demo on the morning wore me out. Pleased with how this one came out even though it wasn’t to plan. I was good, I did my composition thumbnail... and then the focal point of the whole scene ran away, I found I’d misjudged the shape and size of the cliffs and I just kept on repainting. I was finally about to finish, but my unknowing model with the jumpsuit came and sat back down, so I frantically added some finishing touches while she was stationary. #staithes #paintingstaithes #staithesbeach #staithesharbour #marinepainting #seascape #seascapepainting #acrylicpainting #acrylics #winsorandnewtonprofessionalacrylics @winsorandnewton #getoutside #dayatthebeach #paintingoutside #paintedonlocation #waves #cliffs #peopleonthebeach #paintingpeopleonthebeach
Staithes Harbour. The tide was going out and the man was restacking the lobster pots. Had to remind myself to not keep painting over what I’d already mapped out due to the changes in front of me. Second day in Staithes was definitely the day I learned through fighting with my paintings. #staithes #staithesharbour #paintingstaithes #lobsterpots #workman #fisherman #harbourwall #jetty #acrylics #acrylicpainting #winsorandnewtonprofessionalacrylics #bouye #limittedpalette #ladder #seascape #harbourside #seascapepainting #marinepainting
The first tonal painting at Staithes. I really liked the shadows the houses cast into the beck. The boats, moving with the water, where there to balance the composition. I even hid from the teacher as I decided the best view was over the wall. 😅
Started this plein air at Seaton Carew. Had to go home and take a breather before trying different people in the foreground. #pleinairpainting #seatoncarewbeach #seatoncarew #winsorandnewtonprofessionalacrylics #acrylics #acrylicpainting #finishedinthestudio #seaside #beach #seascape #seapainting #paintingthebeach #onlocation #tidesout
