Sandy water

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

Here are two more images produced from the sketch I posted in my blog a couple of days ago… the palette is from Colourlovers and is called ’sandywater’ … it instantly made me think of those dredging low tide waves churning the sand up, colouring the waves.

The original Palette is here:
www.colourlovers.com/palette/726905/sandywater

Hope you like this… it’s a single line and I was working on the principles of angular vectors to show the structure of the wave. Also this represents it’s movement.

The original sketch included a surfer in the tube, removing him has left an interlacing error as originally it was intended that he would be entwined with the wave…. perhaps you can spot the switch in the pattern? To me this switch doesn’t matter, it’s been found in ancient master pieces, works completed by apprentices and occasionally become unavoidable in some designs. That’s what I’m sticking to anyway!!

The paint drips effect was created with a picture tube I made in Paintshop.

Any questions just ask…

Also note this painting is available for sale, please contact me for details or refer to my price list pricelist. Cheers!

November Croyde Session Palettes

Sunday, November 30th, 2008
Here are two palettes I created on friday after a surfing down at Croyde…
Muddy waves, sunny days. Inspired by a nice session on Croyde this afternoon, sun shining, 7 degrees, 2-3foot clean ish and mellow. Grey clouds lashing over lundy and a bright red sunset fuzz over heartland. Foam on the faces and powder blue skies.

Sun setting at 4.30pm over Hartland head, grey rain smudged over lundy. 7 degrees. 3ft and clean on Croyde. Lovely :-)
