Plein Air: North Gare Beach

View of Seaton Carew Beach and Hartlepool from North Gare Beach. Sand dunes at North Gare Beach. Last Sunday I had made very sensible, serious adult plans that involved going to the ‘toon to go to the bank, and while I was there seeing an art exhibition. This coincided with the fake spring we had. […]

Painting a day: cyclamen

Part of the painting a day challenge is after dark, after work, or in stormy weather, finding something to paint. I’ve always been meaning to paint my mums cyclamen plant. Bright colours, challenge of the symmetrical pot, and now I can add a contrasting background with my shadow box. First attempt didn’t go so well. […]

Plein air- snow, trees, railway bridge.

I went away on holiday, and it snowed here! I just caught the last day before it melted. Here’s the new set up! I forgot paper towels. Note assistance dog number two exiting stage south. Preparatory sketch and brush roll. I was aiming to keep the details loose, and capture the light in clear blocks […]

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 […]

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 […]

Plein air Blackhall

We went to the same spot again, but it was so windy we had to go down to the beach. We found a sheltered spot and decided what we wanted to paint from that area. There weren’t as many people around, but we still spent a good amount of chatting to people. We learned that […]

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 […]

Blackhall rocks again

Guess where I’ve been on a Sunday? It was two weeks ago but I’ve been revising for an exam so painting sadly had to take a back seat. We perched on the cliff tops as we were both tired and couldn’t face the thought of hauling all our stuff up the cliff path. We pitched […]

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 […]
