Tis image was made using Windsor & Newton watercolour on A5 cartridge paper in my concertina sketchbook. I went camping in Devon for a week with a group of girlfriends. Most of us enjoy the process of art making so, I carried my small sketchbook and tin of paints to this beach with me. The beach is inaccessible by car and can only be reached by walking along a steep, narrow, rocky and winding cliff path. You have to carry everything you want to take on your back. I knew i wanted the chance to pa

Title or Location: Costa Brava Boats
Our family was vacationing in Tossa de Mar, Spain. We had ben out for a walk but it was beginning to rain and as we hurried home, I saw these boats up on the sand. I was just really drawn to them so I ran over and took a photo before the rain really started coming down. Months later, I decided to paint the scene.
