Like a lot of artists I know, my head is always full of pictures, and it's very difficult when you think in pictures to put your ideas into words.
I took a photo of one of my granddaughters paddling in the shallow seas of the Norfolk coast. She was surrounded by water, with poised self sufficiency. So much so that I wanted to translate her pose into a painting.
Without further explanation here is how I painted this picture.
 |
| Quick sketch and transparent raw Sienna ground. |
 |
| Cerulean blue and cobalt blue sea. |
 |
| More yellow. |
 |
| Defining the waves. |
 |
| Getting to grips with the figures. |
 |
| Whole picture so far. |
 |
| Detail and colour on figures. |
 |
| The orange changes the feel of the picture completely. |
 |
| Finished! Woman and Child Oil on canvas panel 30 x 30 cm |
