Yes fresh and lively, a good reminder of your visit Dennis.

Very nice ink and wash Derek. I like your loose style, the colours and the composition.

Brilliant work - so fresh and free. I know how hard it is to do these quick sketches before the sun goes in or the people move!

Thanks Dennis, Stephen, Dympna and Thea. My main problem was trying to get washes on before the paper dried.

I love this loose style of painting Derek

Thanks Sandy, it is partly a style (not intended) but also the speed I work in relation to surroundings and weather.

A great scene well captured Derek. Immediate, spontaneous and no chance of fiddling!

Great sketch Derek, conveys a lot with seemingly little effort.

Posted by Frank Bingley on Tue 29 Jul 22:01:22

Thanks Frank. Believe me, loads of effort!

Really good sketch Derek. The darks are particularly effective, and the pier is inspired.

Thanks Sharon. It was sad to see in the news last night that the ancient pier has gone up in smoke, a fate similar to many piers in the UK. Very old timbers and probably careless users.

About the Artist

Derek Snowdon

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
