That is truly marvellous,Diana. The detail is absolutely superb and I feel I can almost touch that water. Your painting technique is quite remarkable.

Lovely picture, very well painted 😊

Very impressive, Diana.

Super painting Diana. The rocks are great.

David, your comments are so motivating to me. Thank you very much. Thanks Stephen. A Cove I’ve painted a few times but can’t actually get down to. Thanks Mia. I’ve learned a big lesson on the use of Brusho on a watercolour painting. Thank you Tessa. The rocks are a delight to draw.

It works really well, Diana- loose and fresh looking - your experimentation worked. Your experimentation worked well, Diana - so loose and fresh looking.

A great painting. The water looks so inviting but cold!

I love this Diana, its so evocative and beautifully painted. Have never heard of Brusho - will investigate!

Superb Diana.

A terrific painting indeed.

Super watercolour Diana

Lovely; I really like this Diana.

I like the structure and strata within this painting. Superb detail!

This is lovely and what a great salvage!

I’m glad you think so Maureen. The dark is very dense though. Thank you Fiona. My husband is an all year cold water swimmer 🥶 Thanks Sarah. Brusho is tiny granules of incredibly intense water colour. It’s fun to use but gets everywhere!! Thanks Fiona. I learned that Brusho needs to be used very sparingly! Thanks Chris. I’m pleased you like it. Thank you David. I paint this beach regularly though can’t get down to it. I use my husbands photographs. Thank you Karen. I appreciate your interest. Thanks Spencer. The cliffs around the furthest south east Cornwall are a joy to draw. Thank you coral. I really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks Heather. I really was rather pleased that it’s not in the bin. So close!

Beautifully done, Diana, lovely colours.

Thanks Jenny. It was so close to total disaster.

Just wonderful ! Love the colours.

Thank you Valerie. The palette of natural colour is wonderful down there.

Thank you Georgina. It’s an amazingly beautiful place.

Excellent !!!

Thank you for your interest Lea.

Hi Diana, I thought I’d commented on this before, but it just popped up on the selection ribbon and I realised I hadn’t . Just wanted to say I think this is a fabulous painting - both rocks and water are beautifully captured.

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated

Lovely textures

I hadn’t set out to use Brusho in this watercolour but mid paint , I thought I could get the intensity and splattered look of the seaweed using it. Unfortunately, it bled wildly and the colour was too solid. After a bit of work , I salvaged it from near death!! Fine liner, watercolour/ Brusho on Saunders Waterford heavy CP paper. 14 x12’’
