Another brilliant painting. I'm pining for the coast at the moment - haven't been out of the house for months - I have COPD - but your reflection technique will certainly find its way on to memories of the North coast of the Llyn Peninsula later in the week. Thanks again for keeping me sane. Keith

I went in for a painting lesson and in a bit I was feeling the breeze on my face, the dogs splashing around and the wave pushing my feet into the sand... I really didn’t want it to end! And at the same time, the silly captions had me laughing 😂 myself under the table, the way they reinterpret your comments is a show unto itself 🤣😅😆 So thank you Charles in Northumberland🌎for a lovely painting 🖼, thoroughly enjoyed in this quarantine day by me, in the north part of California ☀️... Thank you again and please keep your lovely 😊 painting lessons coming ❗️ My name is Marisa and I am fan❗️

[@charlesevans7706]

2010LaMarisa thank you soooo much for the lovely comments. I have to be lighthearted, it’s not too serious, it’s supposed to be fun. It’s like these people that give a thumbs down to videos. What’s not to like? It’s for free!! There’ll be plenty more coming, next one will be a watercolour. Take care.

[@galland3496]

Watched you over the years with delight , and thank you for your latest version. My wife and I used to visit Northumberland quite a bit and nearly 50 years ago we had our honeymoon up there which started our love with the place ....and what a beautiful place it is... If a bit wind swept. You haven't changed much and I am still enthralled with your painting. I do thank you for inspiring me to paint. Now a days I have moved on to painting and researching Paul Cezanne , BUT the point is you have to start somewhere , and I am very pleased I came across yourself in earlier days which gave me a good start . Thank you.

Charlie everytime I try and do the clouds Ike this, it's hit n miss. They either work out or they up just a grey blob on the blue background. How much pressure are you applying with your finger when you're blending the grey mix and white of the clouds? Lovely painting 😎

It’s very light pressure, just to gently merge the colours.
