"The artist...is also a born adventurer. His explorations, unlike those of a tourist, are rewarded by the discovery of beauty spots unmentioned in the guide books, and with tireless curiosity and an exceptional proneness to wonderment, he will come upon objects of remarkable interest overlooked or even shunned by more disciplined observers."
Augustus John, R.A.

Colour 7 is a dark brown for the shadows on the base of the cliffs and for a few patches on the beach to represent the wet sand left by the retreating waves.

Colour 8, a darker blue for the sea and top part of the sky.

Colours 9 above, and 10 below, two shades of green.

Which leaves us with just one more colour to go.

I studied illustration at Dyfed College of Art, Carmarthen, graduating in 1984. The works shown on this site are based on observations and drawings made directly from life in the field. The field sketches are mostly drawn using a Rotring Art Pen or a soft 6B pencil. The finished studio pieces are generally linocuts but I have recently started working with drypoints and mezzotints. Further information and more examples of my artwork can be found by following the link below to my website.

On Painting From Nature
"Observation of nature is part of an artist's life, it enlarges his form and knowledge, keeps him fresh and from working only by formula, and feeds inspiration."
Henry Moore.

On Drawing
"For me drawing is the basis of all visual language, for the art of drawing is a way of seeing and celebrating the world."

I'd say you've most definitely succeeded in "retaining that summer brightness".
It's very nice seeing this print unfold and it's another lovely one. Another enticing image of an England I hope to see one day.
But I can't help thinking: Wow! Eleven colours in a few weeks...that would take me almost three months!
Hi Katka
Thanks for the comment. I am using waterbased inks so I don't have the problem of waiting days for the prints to dry before I can print the next colour. If there isn't much carving I can sometimes get three colours down in one day.
