‘Watching the Sunset’ - Portland - Dorset

Yes Shaun, I think the figure is important. My eye jumped about, first to the strip of sky where the sun is, then to the figure and then all around. The colours are lovely.

Fabulous use of complementary colours Shaun and the figure gives narrative to your painting. Love the background silhouettes. This is a real eye catcher.

A truly beautiful painting with a superb sunset!!

It adds scale and also helps balance the composition Shaun - cracking job on the sunset! The figure breaks into the horizontal lines of the composition also!

Superb Shaun. The vibrant colours are beautiful and the addition of a figure draws your eye into the picture.

Stunning Shaun. I want to know what thoughts are going through your figures head, whilst they stare at the magnificence of nature before their eyes.

This is gorgeous Shaun, and yes, For me the figure gives the picture added atmosphere. I love your use of colour also!

Thank you Rachel and Fiona. The figure is looking at this view as I did Fiona. The power of the sea at Portland is inspiring.

This is larger than most of my recent work,(24x20ins), I wanted to paint using larger brushstrokes - I like including figures in my landscape and in this case I hope it adds to the atmosphere?

About the Artist

Shaun Byatt

I try to achieve vibrant colours in my paintings. I work intuitively with large flat brushes - I also try not to overwork my pictures and they are often completed in two sittings. I use good quality acrylics because of their excellent pigment content. I like to interpret what i see in front of me…
