Fishing Boats in Newcastle

Comments

There are so many technical felicities to comment on here you could write a manual about the thing. I'll limit myself to just one that caught my eye - the still saturated sand: in places wet enough to mirror the sky perfectly, elsewhere tarnishing gracefully as the tide ebbs. Magic.

A change of scene for you from the city to a river scene, yet your lovely, strong watercolour technique is evident. Good use of light and shade and you have simplified what must have been a very complex scene so well.

Lovely work, Joseph. I agree with Kim - there are countless excellent points one could comment on in respect of this piece. I love the light and the atmospheric quality of this scene.

Takes my breath away at it's simplicity and it's complexity. Just wonderful work.

Thanks all for your kind comments - best bit for me is the bottom left sand which goes from under water to out of water - really happy about this little bit
