Uphill Marina #3 - Getting the values right
Dec 19, 2019
Uphill Marina, Weston-Super-Mare, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A third painting of this lovely location on the River Axe. I must get down there when the tide is in. I think I got the values better on this one with the distant hills and stronger values in the foreground. Might have been nice to add in a few more posts to help the composition.
Painted on Saunders Waterford, Cold Press, 300 gms.

Sherston Plein Air Painting #3 - looking up the High Street
Dec 18, 2019
Sherston, UK, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A third painting from my summer day trip to local village Sherston. Love the bunting out in the street and a great tool to link two sides of the street from a composition point of view. I normally avoid painting cars side on, but here I think it works by not making a big feature of them with all the trimmings and wheel arches and so on.

Sherston Plein Air #1
Dec 11, 2019
Sherston, UK, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
First plein air of the day at Sherston with the 'Exiles'. This is looking down Church Street. Picked this spot primarily because it was in the shade. I think with watercolour plein air, a key consideration on where/what to paint is 1) get comfortable, then 2) decide from there what to paint..

Uphill Marina River Axe at Low Tide
Dec 07, 2019
Uphill, Somerset, Watercolour 15" x 11"
A painting based on a photo taken on a summer plein air trip to Uphill near Weston-Super-Mare. It's the River Axe as it meanders into the Bristol Channel and there's quite a few boats which at low tide look as if they have suffered from some flooding catastrophe and have been pushed inland from their moorings. Lovely muddy banks of the river and quite a reddy brown in colour.

Plein air painting with the Exiles - May 2019 #3
Jun 06, 2019
3rd painting in the afternoon, still sheltering from the strong winds behind the Scout Hut on the Waterfront in Bristol. Here a view across some wasteland and the spire of St Mary Redcliffe.

Plein air#2 - painting with the Exiles down on Bristol Harbourside
Jun 04, 2019
Bristol Harbourside, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Second painting on a recent plein air trip with my painting group, the Exiles. The sun came out late morning, but the wind was still too strong out in exposed places. So I tucked in behind the Mud Dock Cafe building and just painted what was in front of me - the quayside, tops of boats and some apartments on the other side of the harbour as a backdrop.
