Chine, Isle of Wight

Presumably Blackgang Chine as I remember it? Wow, that is small for a rough surface, but you’ve done a good job!

Have just learnt a new word, thank you! Very small and very good

Great colour Robert. Brings back some memories thanks.

Lovely colours Robert. I'd never heard of Chines before.

That brings back great memories of a previous holiday on the Isle of Wight.

Excellent watercolour Robert.

Lovely washes Robert the colours blend nicely.

Thanks to all - in reply to Alan, this is rather a composite chine, because of my inability to scramble down to the right places to get a good look: once I fall over, I usually need help to get up again - and in places like that, there are rarely other people around. So this is a meld of memory and a glimpse from far away of topographical features. As they all tend to change over time, verisimilitude is a bit pointless, unless you're trying for an historic impression - mind you, it would amuse me no end if people were now to go searching the island's coast in the hope of finding the source of this image - I'd be surprised and quite gratified if they could. Insofar as this one has succeeded, a lot of credit must go to this superb paper: it enables effects I couldn't have got with, e.g., Arches (great paper though that is).

It’s interesting point of view Robert, nicely achieved as well 😉👍

Works very well Robert.

Chine away Robert! I don’t know of anywhere else in the world that has chines. But on the other hand I recently learnt of a place in Indonesia that has chalk streams. So you never know. Lovely glow to your chine!
