summer boats at portsoy harbour aberdeenshire by graham turpie

The boats really stand out Graham and I like the texture on the wall and houses. A very vibrant harbour scene.

Wow it's beautiful Graham. Lovely bright colours. :)

Absolutely love the bright colours!

Wonderful textures and colours Graham.

Beautiful painting, Graham. What is on the walls? Is it dry brushwork, or have you used some medium on them? Its very good either way and gives it some age and character. Nice, vibrant colours too!

Love the composition and the colours Graham.

Brilliant composition and a stunning palette, Graham. An absolute stunner!

Many thanks to all for your kind and positive comments on this painting, it is always appreciated by myself when other artists like your work, especially when this is one of my newer techniques in watercolour that I am trying to develop .<br />In response to your query Jennifer, the walls texture was are a mixture of a very small amount of oil pastel applied to various areas prior to painting and the some build up of washes and dry brushwork after that .

Thank you for sharing the information on your technique, Graham. I will try it out. It is SO effective here and adds greatly to your painting which I love.<br />Thank you also for your comments on my work.
