Product Information

With a subject like this, it’s important to remember that the sky should not be seen as a separate entity; it affects the whole of the landscape. Echoing the sky colours throughout the scene brings harmony and consistency to the painting. Here, note how the warm sky colour, mixed from Quinacridone Gold and Rose Madder, is reflected in the whitewashed wall and roofs of the building on the left and also in the sand and mud of the beach. The grey colour at the top of the sky, made by adding a mixture of Cerulean Blue and Rose Madder, suffuses the shadows and darks.Ôªø It’s always a good idea to look for slightly unusual viewpoints when you are gathering material for paintings. Whereas the previous two paintings are quite traditional in composition – looking across the land at hills towering above us – for this painting of Portloe in Cornwall, I climbed up a cliff path and looked down into the bay. I paint the sky with ultramarine blue and titanium white. In general I am trying to keep it simple with the colour mixing by using fewer colours. The benefits of this is that the colour mixtures look cleaner. The islet of Kemmunett supports one of the best garigue habitats due to the limited human disturbance of this uninhabited islet. Interesting shrubs present include the endemic Maltese Spurge Euphorbia melitensis, the Olive-leaved Bindweed Convolvulus oleifolius, the Shrubby Kidney-vetch Anthyllis hermanniae and the subendemic Maltese Toadflax Linaria pseudoluxiflora. A colony of the Mediterranean Shearwater Puffinus puffinus yelkouan also occurs here.

I usually try to fit in a holiday and a couple of short breaks in the UK every year to re-charge my batteries and gather new material for paintings. One of my favourite locations is the Lake District, which provides endless material and challenges for the landscape artist, all in a relatively compact and accessible area. I particularly enjoy the challenge of painting low cloud and mist on distant hills – a subject that lends itself perfectly to watercolour. I am often asked the best way to capture this effect convincingly. The key to this method is to keep introducing clean water as you paint the hills, aiming for that “now you see it, now you don’t” effect, giving the impression that you are glimpsing the hills through a moving veil of mist or low cloud.Ôªø The vegetation of the boulder screes is also interesting in that it is often a mosaic of different vegetation types including rupestral, garigue, maquis, watercourse and coastal elements and is best termed an rdum assemblage. The entire area is part of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and there’s plenty to explore nearby. Read more in our guide to Exeter and East Devon. If Saint-Valery church falls victim to coastal erosion, Varengeville cemetery will also disappear into the sea—and, with it, the grave of Georges Braque, his wife and their servant. François Mitterrand came here several times during his tenure as France’s president; villagers recall that he would sit down on the wooden bench behind the church and abandon himself to the panorama and his thoughts.

Next I paint the foliage and grass in the mid ground cliffs using a combination of ultramarine blue, cadmium yellow, cadmium orange, yellow oxide. The yellow oxide and cadmium orange helps to earth the greens and make them look more nature, it also reduces the chroma a little. The whole coastline of Kemmuna and its adjacent islets is of considerable geomorphological value in view of the uniquely rich concentration of marine erosional features in various stages of formation that they display. In addition, both islands were, until recently, spared from the environmental pressures to which Malta and Gozo had been subjected and therefore still support a relatively rich ecology and a relatively unspoilt coast which also harbours some distinct features. The works Monet painted in Sainte-Adresse in the second half of the 1860s represent a momentary change in his representation of the sea. Compared with the wild seascapes of previous years (a style that Monet would later resume), here Monet painted the sea as an instrument of entertainment for the bourgeoisie, in a style that can be related with the paintings created for the “Salon des Artistes”, a “genre” that the artist had been developing in previous years, finished with the colossal “Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe”, first exhibited in 1866. Claude Monet – Jardin a Sainte-Adresse – 1867 Where to start the walk? —The path up Golden Cap begins at the car park by the sea in Seatown (location: DT6 6JU).

A fascinating virtual tour through the relationship between the impressionist master and the sea. Claude Monet: “The Manneporte” (1884) – detail It was Durand-Ruel, the great patron of the Impressionist artists, who financially supported Monet, Pissarro and Boudin during their trip to London in 1870, a trip that continued with their stay in the Netherlands the following year. The English landscape did not impress Monet at first; and in fact he painted very few English landscapes, except those depicting the Houses of Parliament and River Thames, a subject that he would resume -in a more enthusiastic way- in subsequent visits. The truly decisive factor in Monet’s stay in London was his visit to the National Gallery, where he discovered the work of the greatest British landscape painters: John Constable and, above all, Joseph Mallord William Turner. Turner’s seascapes, with their effects of light and atmosphere, influenced Monet’s works of the following years. For the whitewater that is in shadow I mix ultramarine blue with a little quinacridone magenta and titanium white. Rising over cliffs and down to beaches, the path undulates through a very fine section of the Jurassic Coast path between Bowleaze Cove and Osmington Mills.
