Another view of Paignton, exactly on the opposite side of the harbour from the painting of Paignton which I shared with you a few days ago. The air show was starting and it was getting very noisy, many people were going into the harbour vicinity to get away from all the crowds with their pushing and shoving all over the place. Having said that I watched the second half of the show which I enjoyed, it was very impressive.

Note the method of the painting; very loose watercolour, which is then tightened up with a fine pen work. In this instance I used a pen which was not water soluable, so that where needed, it could be touched up later with a little more paint if nessesary. A very forgiving combination of medias, ideal for holiday painting; at least I think that is the case, you are allowed to disagree.

My tree work continues, whilst as a sidline my direction has changed for a while to have some fun and look for a while at harbours, fishing craft and the seaside. It should be good fun and the results will be in an exhibition in Guildfrord  during November and December this year; however more about that later.
