Also on the easel AND #stillwet Making this one bigger too and translating it onto stretched linen. Out of context it seems very bright especially on a dull British August day – but you can swipe to see the on-site shots…NW Spain really is these colours!

Another day another trip to the beach ….virtually. Working sketches up into watercolour drawings and plans. Rocks and cliffs of course – and reference from the plein air drawings and oil pieces for shape, scale and COLOUR 😉- and a few photos too for the bits I didn’t draw onsite. Ps – shoes for scale!!! #stretcherbarsarrivedtoday #journeysinspain…

Parada Del Sil, Galicia.

Windy!

I took some seriously poor photos whilst I was away. I’m not sure why – possibly the incredible brightness confused the exposure. I’ve made some better photos- with the location shot included and with this one a short film too. I painted this view twice this trip and once last year too. Very breezy each time – so much so that last year it broke my easel. #galicia #mountains #pleinair…

Spanish recap on Instagram 👍

View this post on Instagram

A lightening wizz round the things from Spain which I spread out whilst unpacking which remind me how very colourful it is there! They all look so bright in this British subdued stormy light and room. This trip, my boards were all larger (30×40 cms or 30x60cms) as I have begun to think that although a traditional smaller board is easier (and…

Viaduct with shadows

A few sessions to complete this – lacking sun yesterday on the last bits, but what you can’t see is how very windy it was too! 75x55cms #workonpaper

Delme Roundabout! I sensibly avoided the sun yesterday on the Delme Roundabout in Fareham under the dual carriageway ….I think I might have forgotten how much effort a full Imperial sheet of plein air ink was!….or I’m getting old …or maybe it was just the heat 🥵

Southdowns National Park

Grey morning light here…the pink grass heads were really interesting bobbing round in the wind. Today’s wildlife bonus? Thousands of tiny grasshoppers….hard to film but a few landed on my board. southdownsway #southdownsnationalpark #pleinair @plein_air_life @britpleinair @en.pleinair @pleinairmag #oilpainting #hampshire #exton
