Bristol Waterfront Plein Air 2019 #1

Bristol Waterfront, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Out with my painting friends 'the Exiles' recently and a trip to nearby Bristol and its Waterfront/Harbourside area.  A very breezy day - Most of us had our easels blown over at some stage, and on this one, I was painting into the wind and had to lean forwards against my easel to hold it in place.  So here is a view towards Prince Street Bridge, the cranes beyond that and some small boats in the foreground.

Painted on Saunders Waterford, Cold Press, 300 gms.

Grand Parade Bath from Pulteney Bridge

Bath, UK, 15" x 11"

A view up/down Grand Parade in Bath, from Pulteney Bridge (the Bridge is to the left of this scene).  Most of the time, a busy street corner with mainly visitors to the city, so I had to put quite a few in.  With a group of figures, I try to treat them as one shape - so draw the tops of heads and shoulders first, then the shape of multiple bodies and sizes intermingled.

Experiment #2 - A log fire in watercolour....Hmmmmm

A log fire painted in Watercolour, 15" x 11"

So experiment number 2 - how to paint a log fire.  So I didn't paint flames as such, but some smouldering logs that have reached the 'ember' stage if that's the correct term.  Not sure what sort of painting this is - still life?  Plein air?  The paint dried a bit quick in front of it though!!

Bridge Via Arsenale Livorno Port, Italy

Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

The Via Arsenale which connects Livorno City with the Port area.  I nice row of boats of moored up against the side of the bridge attracted me to the scene, as well as the reflections of the distant building.

View up to the port area in Livorno, Italy

Livorno, Italy, 15" x 11"

A view up to the port area of Livorno in Italy.  I went quite loose on this one as regards the shapes of the boats in the marina, the shadows, and details like windows.  To be honest, I find it a very relaxing way of painting and great fun, rather than going for ultra detail.
