Part of a walk I did last week along the Sefton coast. Following the route from Ainsdale to Formby, this is one of the many paths through the wood to the beach.
A section of a Sargent sketch he did for a painting, you can see the whole thing at the link below. I think his sketch has more about it than the painting he finally did, see what you think.
Oyster Gatherers of Cancale (Sketch) Also titled Fishing for Oysters at Cancale John Singer Sargent -- American painter 1878 Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Oil on canvas 41 x 61 cm (16 1/8 x 24 in)
20 cm x 14 cm acrylic on canvas paper mounted on card.
Finished off a painting I originally started on site before giving in to the midges. See May 27th entry to see how far I got. The first thing I do when painting outdoors is take pictures of what I'm about to paint...you never know.
Posted for the painting in acrylics class at SARA Hall.
