The beach at Gran Canaria - Candidate for a 2021 workshop subject?

Gran Canaria, Spain, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Another beach painting from Gran Canaria - Playa de Las Canteras in Las Palmas.  Could be a good subject for 1) Composition  2) Creating mood in the sky  3) Getting light into your watercolour.  What do you think?

Next workshop is here.

Painted on Saunders Waterford, Cold Press, 300 gms.

Storm approaching - Gran Canaria

Some effects that are difficult to achieve with other mediums - the mixing of different thicknesses of paint for the sky, and letting them mix a little at the edges and the glow you could get as in the centre here by leaving the paper unpainted and first laying down clear water around that bright area, or in it, then painting carefully up to the area to get a soft edge.

 

Lifeboat Station Watermouth Bay

A bit of artist's licence with this one in that I don't think there is a 'cafe' right next to the lifeboat station, but I thought it helped the composition with some darker objects in the shade of the building.  Then I went pretty abstract with the bottom left corner.  Could be anything down there!

Demo to Yeovil Art Group - Cadeques

Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A demo to one of the onsite workshops I ran at the Yeovil Art Group.  I always like to think of a theme for any demo, and I believe this one was values in watercolour.  So the background light values and then some darker values in the shadows under the boats.  One of those lovely little bays around the town of Cadeques.

 

June Watercolor Workshop - Live and Online - We're painting a beach scene!

Trawlers at rest

An imaginary scene - during lockdown and running our of source photos I need to be a bit more resourceful and re-purpose some older paintings.  Change boat configuration, change the slope of the beach, change direction of sun and so on.

Painted on Saunders.

Dark Clouds St Ives

St Ives, Cornwall, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A bit of messing around and playing with warm against cool.  So mainly a cool, dark sky against warm, lighter, roof tops and carry a bit of light red into the sky.  Sorry to St Ives residents - I have changed the houses around a little!

Latest video - Watercolour Tutorial - I paint the River Tamar

I'm painting the River Tamar (again) in my latest video and mention some tips I think are useful for painting a complex scene (see the source photo I use).

Hotel Playa Sol & Beach, Cadeques, Spain

Cadeques, Spain, Watercolour 15" x 11"

One of many small coves around the bay at Cadeques.  I think the trick with painting small boats like this, is not to make them look too perfect as in the tops of the hulls as a smooth or hard edge.  Break it up a little and add in some imperfections.  Let a row of boats like this blend in with each other.  I also use a few dry brush strokes for details like markings, old paint work and rigging details.
