Watercolours

Refining watercolour skills has been taking up my time recently. In that regard I attended a demonstration of watercolour seascape painting by Geoff Hunt PRSMA arranged by the National Maritime Museum Art Club.

Geoff is one of the foremost marine painters in the world today so it was very exciting to watch him in action. It opened my eyes to some of the shortcomings of my techniques. I have been attempting apply some of the lessons learned. A few examples of my studies are below:

Clipper Hull Down

Sidmouth

Hull down on the horizon

Whistable Harbour

The Medway 1830 (After Turner's sketches)
