Capturing Coastal Moods: Ray Balkwill

Ray takes us to some of his favourite haunts on the spectacular coastline of Cornwall and demonstrates his unique approach to painting using watercolour and pastel combined in this trailer from APV Films http://www.apvfilms.com. Stunning locations include Porthleven Harbour, the estuary at Gweek and the rugged cliffs of Mullion Cove. He is a strong advocate of painting en plein air, his main objective being to capture the mood and 'spirit' of a place. He also shows how sketching in charcoal plays a vital role in capturing the essence of a scene.
