I returned with my paints a day or so later, and set up painting, whilst Sara took Archie on another walk, again hunting for anything venomous..again unsuccessfully.
I enjoyed painting this, and have started a larger version of it now that we are back home. This is the first time that I have worked up a larger version of a painting, using only the plein air painting as a source. My intention is to put swimmers in the bigger painting, but I will post about that later - when it is finished.
Here is the plein air painting.
The scene..
..and from above. That's me sat painting, near the bottom, to the left..
The first stage, blocking in and picking out a few details
Adding in the tonal areas..
Starting to get there.
Sara holding the picture up.
The finished painting.
