The Watercolour Impressionist Paints St Giles Circus, London

New painting - St. Giles Circus, London

Beach Huts, Old Hunstanton, Norfolk

Old Hunstanton, Norfolk, UK - 22" x 15"
This is from a workshop demo in 2012 at Old Hunstanton, Norfolk. I was taken by the repetition of triangles, rectangles and thick grasses amongst the sand dunes. These beach huts litter this part of the coast, and holiday-makers enjoy a wonderful location of sea, sand and sun in the summer months. Notice the bottom half of the painting is in warm shadow, throwing up the two figures next to the lightest part of the painting. Painted on Saunders Waterford rough paper 300 gms/140lb.

Lots of soft and hard edges, lost and found edges, too. Notice the repetition of triangles in this composition. Paper used Saunders Waterford 300gms/140lb.
