Original artwork description:

Swanage bay
A bracing day by the sea,
Calming light,
As I look across to the cliffs,
The tides drifting out,
I feel so alive.

Words and thoughts of being here recently in February.
Original impressionist watercolour on extra rough textured cold pressed watercolour paper bockingford 425 gsm 200lb.
I used a dry brush technique for the sea, wet on wet for the background washes and a dragging plus pressing technique for the detail of the foliage.

Materials used:

Extra rough textured watercolour paper bockingford 425gsm 200lb, Windsor and Newton fine art watercolours, filbert brush, Japanese squirrel hair brush,
