La Plage!

Rapid watercolour sketch of a sunny but windy day on the beach. After the main washes were dry I simply dry brushed the sky and sea`areas. Great fun! Watercolour on paper (125lb) 12 x 16

You capture all the movement and spontaneity of the moment. That is very difficult to do. Each figure is individualized making in a real group portrait of sorts. And all that done on site. . .wow.

Artist Reply: Thanks David. I appreciate your comments. Being in France always wakes up those ideas that have been lying dormant in my brain for ages. A couple of trips to the beach at St Rochelle became the trigger for my latest Children at play series. I'm very interested in the action of the figures. Watercolour pencils are great for getting the essentials down.Wouldn't go anywhere without them. Take care. Love to Nicole. Bisous de Rusty and SimonXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Beautifully done Rusty....I am so looking forward to summer

Artist Reply: Thank you Renata! We were lucky being able to visit the beach when it was sunny. It's been raining ever since here in France. Luckily I did quite a few sketches!
