Seascape oil painting - part 1

Another painting started at the Exmoor National Park Centre in Lynmouth.  It's always a bit daunting starting a painting from scratch - the blank canvas staring back at me - will it work or be a disaster!

Screenshot below from the video I took of the painting process...
so click the image and it will take you to the Timelapse clip - 9.15 minutes if you haven't already guessed!



This isn't a completed painting, only Part 1 - of how many I don't know at the moment.  Sometimes I just have to let the painting decide, or until I'm happy with it  ;)

It was a nice day over in Lynmouth with a few people stopping to have a chat.  I set up my easel near the cafe and some people say they watch from within the cafe while they're having a snack and drink.  So they get free entertainment at the same time, lol.

When this oil paint has dried, I'll look at it again and decide where I go from there - and yes, I'll be updating here.

I already feel like I could walk into the water to cool off! Can't wait to see the finished product! ❤️

Eileen…..Many thanks. My sessions painting in Lynmouth are always different, the people make it each time and so nice when they stop to chat.

Marie….Thanks so much Marie :)

Robin…..Thanks Robin, will probably be about 3 weeks before I get the painting to completion, hopefully worth the wait.
