So yesterday I went to Laugharne to get some references for a commission. I took my Jullian Easel as it was sunny and I had the opportunity to get some painting done while I was there.
I found a good view with the sun behind me and to the right. I used my easel as it was a short walk from the car and I had an 18" x 12" board. I used a ground and then did a quick sketch in my sketch book and then went in to the painting with a size 12 long brush roughing out the boundaries first.
Rain threatened but I ignored it and it went away. I had a few visitors who were all pleasant and complimentary.
I had considered putting in one of the boats but decided the painting didn't need it. All went well anyway. The photograph of the finished painting could be better, but I wasn't going to do it again.
