Moraira Beach (Costa Blanca) - Plein air sketch.

Comments

Another loose but comprehensive sketch to work from at a later date Alan. The white highlights really do lift an ink sketch on that lovely paper. Will you bring the oils back with you to work on? Got your message, would you like me to take the dust sheets off and get some shopping in for you darling....lol

You’ve hit on a winning style Alan, another beauty.

Has an antique feel, the white painted areas do give the scene a lift.

Another lovely sketch Alan. I know this part of Spain well as I had a cousin who lived here and visited quite frequently. You’re going to be a busy bee if you plan to develop these lovely sketches Alan.

Well thanks again for your support, always appreciated. I will select a few to paint in oils on my return no doubt, I've managed to do a few oils at the scene also.

Yet another of my current ink sketches that may be of some use at a later date. This is a very quiet part of the beach, as you can see by just the one couple sitting there. Mind you, it is only March! I’ve been working on a few oil paintings as well, although these haven’t all gone to plan - it happens! Indian ink on A4 Strathmore Tan paper.
