Watercolour of Newquay, 15" x 11" on Saunders Waterford Rough 300 gms
A scene along a busy side of Newquay Harbour in Cornwall, and as the sign eludes to - an embarkation point for boat trips and also where many local fishing boats unload their catch of shellfish. Sky wash went in first, down to water level, and continuing down the right side with the warm tones. Then the background hill and far harbour wall shadows, painting around the far boat. Then the sea - lighter in the distance and a deeper colour towards the foreground. When the sea was was dry, I painted in waves and reflections with a small mop brush. Last were boat details, shadows on right harbour wall and figures. And sign lettering was with a bit of white gouache.
