Painting Staithes

Here is a watercolour piece I have been working on, making use of the neutral tint I picked up on Friday:

I think I’ve reached the point at which I’ll leave it alone. You can see how it has developed since a few days ago:

If you look back at the original sketch I did on location, you can see how I have pulled out a few features – rooftops and the dominant cliff in the background – and discarded most of the others:

Finally, take a look at a photo taken on the same day:

It isn’t representational art but it is still rooted in a real place.
