Blog No. 1
Elmer Beach, West Sussex
I decided to paint the view of the rock sea defences and the bay at Elmer beach.

Not living far from here I spend time walking my two dogs Casa & Goldie along this stretch of coast.

I enjoyed painting this view, lots of angles and textures, the reflection on the
calm water is a challenge and I love the big sky, I popped a few of the gulls in too.

This is my first ever blog to show my painting developing…more to come.

1.My sketchbook, planning and sketching Elmer beach using bronze metallic gouache.

The selection of the colours of oil paints I used.
