← Due to the continued warm weather, I have been painting out doors most days, all summer and confess to only sketching occasionally recently. I have travelled to Ireland, Wales and Devon, and shortly have a week painting in Cornwall. In the meantime here is a quick oil landscape of a bay near my studio. I promise to get back to the course soon. 4th or 5th revision of a drawing based on a painting by Venetian Giambattista Piazzetta. Frank Auerbach would probably have done 5 more revisions! Great exercise →

Im liking the brush strokes, particularly on the farther horizon where your brushwork appears to have moved by 45 degrees ., effectively creating more distance..

Nice gestural brushwork Ann! – lots of energy here. It all hangs together very well, which can be an issue on this kind of size
