This painting was something I had to paint! The cliff face was so majestic, stark and beautiful, I had to see if could recreate that presence for you to enjoy.
I used mixed media, starting with an acrylic base, then using paste and sand I built up the rock face so it looks textured and gritty like the real thing.
Then I painted on top of the dry paste using my water-based oils, using a variety of warm sand tones.
The sea and sky was a balance of blues, teals and greens with wisps of white for clouds and tips of waves.
There had been a stormy few days and there was wind in the air and a bit of chop, so I used my palette knife to carve movement in the air and sea.
This painting is 120 cms (48”) by 50cms (21”), framed and signed.
