Bristol Savages sketch night and the topic given by the Chairman of the evening - "into the unknown". I stayed clear of BREXIT related subject and stayed traditional. So a scene of a boat going up the river in a Staithes inspired scene - sorry to local residents only you have 2 hours to complete a painting without any reference material or looking up photos!

Bristol Savages (the painting society I am a member of) sketch night and the topic given by the Chairman for the evening "Three Feathers". Inspired by Prince Charles 70th birthday on that day and the badge of the Prince of Wales so we have a plume of three feathers. We now had 2 hours to complete a painting based on that theme without using any reference material, so now Google search!! Luckily I had painted in a previous week a scene for Ledbury Artists and their Church Street with the Prince of Wales Pub. Ideal and fresh in my memory!

So Wednesday Night Sketch Night at my Art Group, the Bristol Savages, and Chairman for the evening gave the topic "Season of Mists" after the well know Keats poem, "To Autumn". So we have 2 hours to come up with a painting without use of reference material. So from memory/imagination. Well going on the mists theme (I don't do mists - I like sun!) I went with a theme based on Lynmouth Harbour at low tide and put the hills in the background into a very light and soft value. But had to bring some sun in the foreground.

Sidmouth, UK, 15" x 11"
One of my efforts from a recent outing with the Bristol Savages. Our annual 2018 outing this time was to Sidmouth, Devon, UK. The weather was brilliant - although changing light conditions in the morning were quite challenging. So this painting was a study of a few boats at the mouth of the river Sid. The Sid flows out to the sea next to some cliffs on the east side of the town. An enjoyable contra jour painting.

Bristol Savages Wednesday night sketch night and the Chariman's topic was "Play Time". I decided to go with a theme of some people cycling up a seaside promenade, an Ice Cream shop, and some warm sunshine coming through the scene. My other fellow artists came up with a wide range of paintings - beaches, water, boats, fun figures....

Bristol Savages sketch night and the topic for the evening was "the joys of the open road". So we have 2 hours to produce a painting and no access to any reference material (e.g. do a google search on your mobile!!). Always a challenge and always enjoyable. Most of the artists came up with a similar theme - a windy country road, a vista and some figures...

Bath, UK, 15" x 11"
Bristol Savages Wednesday Sketch Night and the topic given by the Chairman for the evening was "A Magical Vista" - Well he is Magician! With a topic like that, and a nice easy one for the start of 2018, an artist can do any sort of landscape to match the title. I took my inspiration from a view in Bath looking up to the Theatre Royal. A painting done in the 2 hour time limit.
