Plein air painting adventure using oils at Godrevy beach in Cornwall.

Oil paints on canvas approximately 12" x 10" (30cm x 25cm).
Colours used plein air were: Titanium White, Lemon Yellow, Cadmium Yellow, Vermillion, Magenta, Indian Red, Yellow Ochre, Violet, Ultramarine Blue, Manganese Blue, Cobalt Blue, Ivory Black.

The light was very flat but it was a calm afternoon on the beach for this outdoor painting. I struggled with the colours and the composition proved difficult, particularly in the foreground areas. I took it as far as I could en plein air (on location) and then completed it in the studio after it had dried for around a week. In the studio with the oils I painted entirely from memory and used my imagination which was great fun!

Thank you for watching - all the best - Andrew
