Bathing in Cadgwith Light

Comments

Wow, Alice, what meticulous work. The sense of depth and place is astonishing. How long did this take you to do?

Thank you Heather :) It took about 5 weeks in total. The pebbles in the foreground and the tangled ropes were the slowest bits!

Detail and atmospheric light are superb Alice.

Such fantastic detail and I love the close up on the buoys. Wonderful detail on the rock strata and pebbles.

You have captured beautifully the light coming in from the right. I can't remember seeing an acrylic painting where the colours and values are so subtle. How did you manage your paints over such a long period? Acrylics dry so quickly yet everything here is so well harmonised.

Hi Owen, I used a stay wet palette for my acrylics and I built them up in thin glazes using a glazing medium

Acrylic 61x51cm I love the way that light can completely transform a scene. The boats in Cadgwith are mostly working fishing vessels that have practical equipment aboard that is used in all sorts of weather. However, the morning light that bathed this view turned the battered, dew-covered fenders into glistening jewels and the ropes into intricate, shimmering ornamentation. Beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder…
