Another small study with a future painting in mind. Here I wanted to keep a narrow colour palette and value range with just a few dark accents to suggest strong shadows. The idea is to get across the bleached rocky shoreline under a bright sun where almost all detail and colour disappears. #oilsketch #oilpainting #oil #limitedpalette #landscapesketch #landscapestudy #landscapeart #landscapepainting #rockyshore #shoreline #capdantibes #france #mediterranean

A couple of sketches done in situ with a future painting in mind. The first is in ink and watercolour and the second in gouache The building is an old barn in the small alpine town of Antagnod, Italy. These buildings are all over the valley and many several hundreds of years old. Over time the wood warps, the walls start to lean this way and that to the point that sometimes they seem to defy gravity! In this case I really liked how the light hit the old doorways at around 2pm so I stayed a while to see how the light and dark shapes changed as well as the textural contrast between the wood and stone elements. I'm really looking forward to scaling this scene up into a more developed work in the studio! #inkdrawing #inksketch #watercoloursketch #gouache #gouachesketch #sketchfromlife #lightanddark #lightshapes #shadowshapes #futurepainting #studiowork #valdayas #antagnod #champoluc #monterosa #valdaosta #italianalps #italy #italia

Here's another recent monochrome exercise. A profile this time which I always enjoy as there's just something satisfying about getting that contour! In this sketch I was trying to stay loose and not overly work the contour. I quite like this unfinished look with a few hard edges here and there. #portrait #portraitsketch #oilpainting #alkyd #oilportrait #profilepainting #profilesketch #monochromeportrait #monochromepainting #monochromepainting

A little sketch for a future studio piece I have in mind. This was a scene I took a quick shot of when out on a walk with friends. Sometimes there isn't time to actually stop and sketch or paint so this is the only option when you spot something that you find interesting. In this case I really liked the old fence descending into the pool of water in the middle of an empty landscape. #oilsketch #oilpainting #landscapesketch #landscapepainting #landscapeart #landscapestudy #sevensisters #southdowns #southdownsnationalpark #englishcountryside #englishlandscape #englishcoast #coastalpath

More little master copies in gouache this time from the late great Fred Cuming who passed away last year. I always loved the atmospheres he created as well as his shape design and composition. A big loss to British art in my humble view. #gouache #gouachesketch #gouachepainting #gouachelandscape #mastercopies #mastercopy #fredcuming #britishartist #britishart #britishlandscape #landscapepainting
