Falling Tide, Shoreham
18 1/2" x 18 1/2" acrylic and oil on board. I have been going out into the Sussex and Surrey countryside with a group of like-minded artist friends to paint "en plein air". I paint on location in acrylic and then finish in oil in the studio. I very much enjoy this way of working as I have discovered that there is no substitute for having the actual scene in front of you as you draw and paint compared to working solely from a photograph. Finishing the painting in the studio gives me the chance to enhance the lighting and atmospheric effects which takes the painting away from being purely a record of the scene as I saw it and allows me to develop a more personal vision and style. www.paintingsbymarkharrison.com
