RIVER-MOUTH BEACH

Acrylic, charcoal, water soluble crayon, linen on canvas, 2022, 61 x 61 cm

part of a series about Kinshaldy beach and the Eden estuary.

I had planned to paint over all of the first layer with its strong lines and paint runs. but stopped as I became aware that the charcoal lines done from my sketchbook notes were actually doing really interesting things with the under layers. As always, the fact that this has a piece of raw linen wrapped edge to edge across it, makes something special happen.
