Boats and Fawley Power Station WIP art

The photo shows a work in progress on a painting of a selection of boats on the bank of the River Hamble. This is the mouth of the river where it meets Southampton water. From this view point can be seen Fawley Power station on the other side of Southampton Water, with the start of the New forest, Hampshire behind it. The painting is done in acrylics on paper sized at 16" x 12". Three stages can be seen of the work in 3 panels. One is the initial drawing, done in brown acrylics on a red ground base. The second panel shows a half way stage with the body of the painting in place ready to accept the final details, which can be seen in the final panel.

Fawley power station from Weston Shore Hampshire

This painting shows the view from Weston Shore, Southampton, looking over to Fawley Power station on a spring morning. Running between is Southampton Water, and a Grimaldi Lines cargo ship carrying cars can be seen approaching the port of Southampton. The tall chimney of the power station is a very distinctive landmark in the area. Behind is the New Forest. The tide is out on the shore revealing various old pipes and concrete blocks.

The painting is done in acrylics on a board measuring 10” x 12”, in less than a day. Painted during June 2014.
