Needles from Hengistbury Head WIP ART

This composite image show the development of the painting 'Needles from Hengistbury Head', an oil painting completed during May 2017. It shows the Isle of Wight, an island of the South coast of the the UK, as viewed from the mainland at Hengistbury Head in Dorset.
The first panel shows the drawing, painted in acrylic brown paint on a yellow ground wash. The second panel shows a later stage with the base under-painting applied showing darker colours of the final intended colours. After the under-painting comes the final oil painting stage over the top and in the third panel it can be seen that oil paint has been applied to some areas. The painting is also more detailed on this last pass, with the final panel showing the completed painting, done on stretched paper sized at 16" x 12".
The final painting can be seen here.

Lepe Beach Windy Winter Day - acrylic painting

This acrylic painting was created during December 2016 just before Christmas. It is painted on paper sized at 16” x 12”. Shown is a scene on a cold, winters day at Lepe, an area of coastline on the South of England in the county of Hampshire. A mother and daughter can be seen on the seashore, a 'castle' shaped bucket to the side. On the sea can be seen a man on a water-ski being propelled by a kite. In the far distance past the active, wavy sea, can be seen the Isle of Wight. 

The painting can be seen in close up here.
