Dartmouth, England, 15" x 11".
Another attempt at this popular subject for me. Low tide again and a looser approach than previous. It's nice to get in both the row of cars and the row of small craft below - contrasting each other as regards modes of transport and the new modern cars with the slightly older small boats. So it has a bit of everything - even the inclusion of a few figures. Quite a simple execution after the initial outline drawing with wash #1 starting at the top and getting richer for the foreground, painting around the boats. Then after that was dry, adding in the dark background and again working down the paper to the tops of the boats. Then the sides of the boats and shadows. Lastly white highlights and rigging lines.
Hi Tim, just been looking through all your works on Dartmouth and Totnes - I know them so well!! Your lovely paintings time-travelled me back to happy times! John
