Capturing Coastal Moods: Ray Balkwill

Ray takes us to some of his favourite haunts on the spectacular coastline of Cornwall and demonstrates his unique approach to painting using watercolour and pastel combined. Stunning locations include Porthleven Harbour, the estuary at Gweek and the rugged cliffs of Mullion Cove. He is a strong advocate of painting en plein air, his main objective being to capture the mood and ʻspiritʼ of a place. He also shows how sketching in charcoal plays a vital role in capturing the essence of a scene.
Ray Balkwill, SWAc is a well-known West Country artist who paints in watercolours, pastels and oils. He is an Academician in the South West Academy of Fine and Applied Arts and also a member of the St Ives Society of Artists. He is author of seven books and a regular contributor to art magazines.
