Plein Air and Studio Painting: Gwithian Beach Cornwall

Painting en plein air with oil paints at Gwithian Beach Cornwall - finishing in the studio several weeks later.
Watch my painting develop as I begin a panoramic scene outdoors on location (en plein air) and then take it to completion back to the studio. I was after a light, airy feel to this one to give an impression of the bright early summer morning on the beach at Gwithian, Cornwall.
This was oil on board and measured 54cm x 15cm - painted in 2 sessions. The first was plein air and the second in the studio.

Great painting and video Andrew. I really like the taking it back to the studio idea too. Thank you for always creating inspirational videos.

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

My pleasure Robin - glad you enjoyed the vid. Most of my plein air paintings get tweaked in the studio as they lack punch and need a little something extra. Take care mate

[@bobgoodnoe4583]

Wonderful painting. Well done.

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you very much! It's one for my exhibition which opens next week

Unusual size. Genial alignment of the beach rocks. The sea has the colour of tourist office brochure (sorry !)

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Our Cornish sea is very special 😃

Lovely light Andrew

It was beautiful there - we were lucky the tide was right out so the sand was glowing

[@meredith7236]

Cornwell looks so beautiful I really want to go tO paint a lot of artists writers and chefs come from Cornwell.

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

It is lovely here

[@RobertJonesWightpaint]

You're using a Cotman rigger there! That's supposed to be a watercolour brush - but it's a good point, because I know they work fine with acrylics and oils, and there's no reason not to use them just because they were designed for another medium: it's a tribute to them, basically. Great brushes. Oh - good painting, too!

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

That rigger is a very useful addition to my brush set - thank you for your comments Robert

Love this one Andrew, great painting in one of my favorite places. Bit envious really as we are avoiding coming from Lancashire this year thanks to Mr Covid. Best wishes Peter

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you Peter - hopefully next year you'll be able to enjoy this beach again and see the seals at Mutton Cove

What a gorgeous painting, Andrew! Thank you for sharing your process. The tweeks you did to the painting back at the studio were so good too (love what you did plein air!).

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thank you Kay. It’s great fun trying different size and shaped painting surfaces. This panoramic was ideal for this scene

[@KayInMaine]

@@AndrewBarrowmanArt You're welcome, Andrew! I also love seeing how you started your painting using a very light paint color to map out the scene. I always tend to use a burnt sienna or an Ultra Marine blue to draw out the scene, but seeing you use a light color close to white was very unique, I think. And it worked well!

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

@@KayInMaine thanks Kay - I don't think it really matters what colour you use to map in the shapes etc. Most of the lines are painted over later

[@KayInMaine]

@@AndrewBarrowmanArt And you have proven that theory! 😎👍

[@billhinton8579]

Wonderful. And the introduction of the figures walking the beach really is a nice touch. Did you prepare the plywood board with gesso.. ? Did you sand down the surface a bit first..? I would like to try plywood. I'm so frustrated with the a lot of the "art boards" I've been using. Even the slightest warping becomes very unpleasant for me. The shot of Basil lounging in the sand is great..!! :) Cheers.!

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Thanks Bill. I did prep the plywood with gesso first. No sanding though as I like the brush marks and slightly uneven texture for painting. Smoother than canvas so can be difficult to paint onto, hence the need to finish in the studio sometimes. Basil loves his outings - he's a well travelled dog! Cheers

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Plywood will warp especially as the panels get larger. I put a bracing frame on the back to stop this happening on anything bigger than 10” 👍🏻

[@meredith7236]

What paint colours mixture dis U use for sand ,that pretty pink is it Burnt Sienna mix?

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

I usually use lemon yellow and magenta with white for the pinkness in sand

[@lucb]

Bonsoir J’aime votre style , pourriez vous m’indiquer le médium que vous utilisez lors de votre retour en studio et en quelle proportion . En vous remerciant

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Merci beaucoup Luc - Je utilise un melange de stand oil et turpentine 50 / 50. Michael Harding has a ready made medium which is very similar - here is a link for more information *_www.greatart.co.uk/michael-harding-oil-paint-medium-pm1.html_*
