Oakwell Art Club Demonstration 27th October 2009

Thank you all for making Liz & myself so welcome last night at your Group's meeting. We had a really enjoyable time, 'hope you did too?




As promised, this is the completed Pastel painting, after I have carried out the following adjustments:

I softened the sky slightly by blending the colours with my finger. I decided not to blend the colour completely in order to retain the 'hazy' appearance.

To reduce the 'warmth' of the colour of the beach, I worked back into the area, using two 'blue/grey' pastels

I applied further detailing to the flags, boat & fish boxes.

Finally, I softened the distant landscape & added a few highlights.

If you have any questions, please contact me.

We hope to visit you again soon!

St Edwards Art Group 30th September 2009

Many thanks to all who attended my Watercolour demonstration, I really enjoyed being with you all again & hope you found it useful.

Here is the panting as it was when I left you:



In order to complete the painting I adjusted the path of light in the water, using White Acrylic & Raw Sienna. I also added further details to the boats using Ultramarine Blue & light Red.

As always, if you have any questions, please contact me.

Hope to see you all again soon.
