I love the rusty splendour of the pier walls at low tide. Today redshanks settle on the glossy mud below to complete this study in ochres.
This is an inspiring scene if tonal paintings are your thing; they are mine.
But if you craved a splash of colour to spice things up, then the yacht’s blue rigging didn’t disappoint. A delicious combination of “cerulean” and “cobalt turquoise light” among the ochres.
Only a little water was left at low tide but it was full of gorgeous reflections from the pier, yacht and birds. Meanwhile the sun cast some wonderful blue shadows across the mud.
Hilary,it’s been the best summer for years and,for me, it’s been enriched by your Saltmarsh Sketchbook blog. Such skilful,accurate sketches and informative,often inspirational texts;I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it all.
So many thanks for that and I look forward to the next episodes!
Thank you John, it is really lovely of you to say so. I have only just scratched the surface so still lots to come.
