Sailing Boat, Dorset

Sailing Boat, watercolour


I merged two different references for this painting, as I wanted to include a beautiful old sailing boat as a point of interest in this seascape. My husband remarked that it looked too near the beach, so might run aground any minute! Of course I could claim that the seabed drops very sharply on this particular stretch of the beach...

The water had a wonderful turquoise hue, which I managed to capture to my satisfaction; the main blue for it was Manganese Blue by Winsor&Newton.
