Staithes

Staithes watercolour


Staithes is a small harbour village in North Yorkshire and is a popular painting destination for British artists. Well-known painters like David Curtis have painted this place and you can find his paintings in the local gallery.

I made my own attempt at painting this iconic place from the reference photos I took when there in August.

What isn't so apparent from pictures of Staithes is the number of seagulls roosting and flying around the place, their cries echoing loudly from the cliffs.
