Plein air painting 102

On June 3 2023 the Southampton Urban Sketchers met up, with the subject being Bitterne Triangle, on the outskirts of central Southampton, Hampshire. However it was difficult to find a good location there, (a road junction) and one with good light that instead I just went for a view of the local 'Riverside' park, a few seconds away. The Itchen river is shown in an upstream view with Portswood in the background. It was a hot day and this plein air was completed during the morning. It is sized at 12" x 9.5" and done on mounting board.

This painting was created in November 2015. It shows a summer evening waterfront scene on the river bank at Riverside park, Southampton. The river flowing through the scene is the River Itchen. At this location on the suburbs of Southampton are a number of properties with gardens backing on to the river. On the river itself are a number of boats resting on the mud as the tide is out.
The painting is done on heavy paper using acrylic painting. It is 16" x 12" in size.

Swans and boats at riverside park, southampton, UK

This is painted in Acrylics on a 16" x 20" canvas. The subject is Riverside Park, on the outskirts of Southampton, Hampshire,UK. Plenty of swans can be seen on the featured river, known as the River Itchen. The water still has a large salt content at this stage and many sea birds can be seen as well as fresh water varieties. The area is popular with canoeists and yachtsmen using the water, and families and friends walking through the park or fishing from the banks of the River Itchen.
The painting is based on a number of poor quality mobile phone images, taken during a summer evening. A complete composition is built up in photoshop and then redrawn on the canvas.Painted in 2012.
