This is the start of a painting I am doing for Chris Stevens. Chris used to live in Cornwall and comes back every year to visit and he asked if I could do him a painting of Godrevy, one of his favourite spots.
So here is the start
What do you mean it looks like a blank sheet of paper?
Well nearly, because I need white bits on my paper for the surf I first have to start off with masking out the areas that need to remain white. I have also used a white candle, which should transform into those little white bits you get on the waters edge as the tide goes out again. If you look closely you will see my rough pencil sketches and masking fluid.
Can’t wait to add some colour, most especially a new colour, Manganese Blue, which I think will show the beautiful blue sky and clear water.
