Media: Oil Sketch on Telati Pintura Linen Panel
Size: 5x7 in
A week later I was still painting at Seal Rock,
weathering a storm on the 1st of December, when I got another two
small sketches completed from the driver's seat of my SUV. On this last sketch I again chose a view
similar to the previous post, but it's earlier in the day and the tide is
receding, allowing for reflections on the expanse of wet sand; always
interesting to paint. There was an
obliging flock of gulls pottering about on the wet sand doing gull things, and
just generally reflecting ... philosophical reflections, no doubt (sorry) ... so I
just dabbed them in with my brush. I
enjoyed the previous 5 weeks painting on the coast, especially since I only was
going to spend a few days painting down there, after the exhibition opening in
Bandon. There was no imprimatura this time, and I went
straight into drawing with a brush on the white linen panel with the usual
suspects: Yellow Ochre, Venetian Red, Cobalt Blue, and Titanium White, all from
W&N.
