Praticing seascapes at home

There were some things I was really struggling to capture when I was painting outside. The sea keeps moving! So from the numerous photos I’d taken, I painted a study of the ways, white horses and wet sand, the points of interest. I started off with a purple underpainting as I accidentally got purple on […]

En Car Air

Sometimes when it’s raining, its better to stay in the car. Fortunately the rain was on an angle and I had a clear view of the view! Due to looking at my new book on composition I am seeing L shaped compositions everywhere so picked out the White House with the fence leading up to […]

Painting in the woods

I was watching a youtube video by Stefan Baumann. And the video boils down to: if you want to get better at painting trees…. go paint trees. So that is what I did. I walked out my studio and dragged my stuff with me. I parked in front of a tree I knew would have […]

Plein air at Blackhall Rocks 20th May

The weather was amazing. So good I had to keep misting my acrylics on top of having a stay wet palette. We tucked down on the cliffs down the technically closed stairway and didn’t have to many people going on by. There were loads of rock poolers down on the beach. The view I was […]

Studio sea painting

A work in progress. Practicing my waves from the comfort of my studio. I was very good and planned it out before hand, and then accidentally got purple on my brush and that is why the under painting is purple. Mapping out the lighter tones. Getting the colour in. A snapshot of my palette. It’s […]

Sketching and proper planning

I am determined to plan my paintings out more. No more trying to fix mistakes that I should have thought about earlier. It’s a work in progress, but it means I am carting a sketchbooks around with me. Currently top of the pile is this little Daler Rowney Ivory sketchbook with very thin paper. It […]

Colour theory

I’ve had a couple of snow days…. and spent them being sick. So now I’m using my time figuring out how to make the right kind of greys (that I didn’t need last Sunday….) A long time ago in CassArt, when you had to go down to London because they didn’t ship, I bought myself […]

Blackhall Rocks en plain air

I buddied up with Sue and went painting to the coast. It was a glorious day. Sunshine! Blue skies and seas and such a clear day the horizon line was such a bright blue instead of a haze. I started two paintings, but both weren’t finished as the light changed so much,with the sun going […]

En plein air 3

Guess who has been to the Blackhall rocks again. This time I took a friend. It was nice to have a break to go over and see what she was up to, and it was a good reminder to drink tea. The palette I used is pictured below, but I am thinking of adding a […]

Acrylic landscapes

Painted at the same time as the pink geraniums. I’ve even helpfully noted down my colour palette. I fell out with yellow ochre at a young age, and had a long relationship with raw sienna. Now I’m very happy with Micheal hardings transport french yellow ochre.
