May Sunshine over the Severn, oil on canvas, £250 (plus postage and packing)

 

On a glorious May day, I decided to take my painting stuff down to the river to paint “en plein air”. It was a beautiful day with people wandering across the rocks from time to time, to peer into the water.  At that precise moment, I just didn’t want to be anywhere else. It was a time to relax and breathe.

The painting was finished in the studio as the sun moved around and my shady spot became too hot to continue outside.

The original picture is smaller then I usually tackle,  because I had to make it portable. It is painted in oil paint on a canvas faced artist board and measures 30cm by 25cm.

It is framed with an obeche wood tray frame.

Painting tip: “If you can get outside to paint, do! You get to experience the atmosphere first hand and this feeds into your picture. Do take photos too, so you can continue inside if needed. It can be daunting exposing your partly painted picture to people walking past, but I had some great conversations!”  Sue Newham
