Wyedale Hall Demonstration 14th July 2008

Many thanks for inviting me to give an Oil painting demonstration last monday. I really enjoyed your company & the interest everyone showed.

This is the completed painting

When I got the painting back in the studio I did the following:

- Added a little more detail to the cliffs by introducing more 'fissures' & highlights.

- Added more resolution to the cliff reflections.

- Increased highlights to the breaking waves.

Willington Art Group 10th July 2008

Thank you to everyone who attended the Workshop yesterday, I really enjoyed your company. The completed painting is shown below:

I decided to leave the sky exactly as it was, creating a 'moody feel' to the painting.

The breaking waves & light on the sea, were worked on using white Gouache tinted with Cerulean Blue & Raw Sienna.

A little 'dry brushwork' was used on the background sea to create a slightly hazy atmosphere.
