Latest video and a beach scene at sunset and celebrating the magic of watercolour - colour, light and contrasts:

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
