Porthleven, Cornwall, 15" x 11".
I was aiming for a bit of golden glow on this one, so decided to do the sky in a weak yellow ochre, then with this first wash a cool blue for the far side of the harbour, then a bit warmer for the harbour itself. The row of boats are just 'shapes' rather than individual boats and hopefully what makes then appear as such was a bit of negative painting around their tops and some long shadows. The foreground shadows were done in one pass with a good sized mop brush well loaded.
