It’s been a gorgeous bright, sunny day, although very cold, so Husb and I headed for the beach this evening for a spot of scribbling and fresh air. I re-used a board that was a failed experiment. It had some images in rhodamine red oil pigment overlaid with lemon yellow and I wasn’t happy with it so I dug it out of a cupboard and scribbled over it in oilbars – yellow ochre, white, ultramarine and black, thinned to varying degrees of translucency with the neutral oil bar. Finally I put in some marram grass with Hooker’s Green.
Now here’s where the artistic license comes in. This is Swansea beach. In Swansea weather. Under a Swansea sky. So if anyone’s tempted to book the next fight to this red hot landscape, forget it. I’ve substituted the searing pinks and oranges for various shades of grey. It’s not a bit like this really. But I’m an artist so I can do it. Ner ner nerner ner 😛

Beautiful again, love this style from you. Seems to be more of a devil may care feel in them.
Thank you. It’s the freezing weather and the need to get back in the warm lol 😀
Great looking work, and I LOVE the color!
Thank you Terri. That vivid pink is one I particularly like 🙂
Love the bright colours.
Thank you 🙂
One of my art teachers in college recommended doing the exact same thing you did! Get an old reject out and completely paint (or otherwise cover) over it. Gives you a certain freedom, that’s for sure!
It certainly does. It stops you from being too precious about the work 🙂
Wow! Saw a blue figure before reading. Loving the colours. Nice surprise!
Thank you, it was fun to do.
surely you’re looking at the beach through rose-tinted glasses…. ;D
haha it looks like it 🙂
