Winchelsea beach


Just returned from a spontaneous seaside trip. Been all through Kent in one day and a half. Spent a night in the village of Winchelsea. We came to the beach when the sun was kissing us good night. It was the end of a long day of driving and a sudden expanse of sea before my eyes felt overwhelming. Hope I managed to catch the atmosphere.

Richmond Bridge



Here is the more up-to-date representation of Richmond Bridge. Cool shadows, crispy transparent air and lots of bird life.

Staying with the nautical theme today's piece is similar to the yesterday's one but from a slightly different angle. Here seagulls are circling restlessly over the shallow coastal waters. The biggest challenge for me is always a repeating pattern with a rigid rhythm like the ripples on the damp sand in the foreground. I'm fairly satisfied with the result today but I feel I need to strech myself further and do more of those.


Today I was busy in my Art Group. Working from the reference picture I took very recently during a day trip to the south coast of Britain. It was an amazing blue dusk setting over the beach when took this picture and in today's watercolour I tried to recreate the magical calm freshness of that moment.

Richmond in Fog



It was very foggy this morning. The true autumnal morning so I made this little watercolour. Later on it became nice and warm and sunny but as soon as the sun went down the air got instantly colder and the fog has return. It was curious to watch.
