Plein Air Watercolour of a Beached Yacht, Elie. Scotland

On another beautiful day in Elie, Fife; we came across this beached yacht. The owner told us he did it on purpose as he wanted to clean the underside of the yacht. It was too good a scene to miss and the tide was in our favour this time!
This is part of a series of paintings along the Fife coast ending in St Andrews

That’s the way to paint a boat in loose style brilliant

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Robert Glad you enjoyed it. Boats make a great subject. Hope you’re painting is going well. Thanks James

[@colinjoyceart]

Another great painting on location James.

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Thanks Colin I did enjoy that one

[@daleshawn1910]

I love it! Thank you for sharing your process.

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Glad you enjoyed it. Lots more to come. James

[@GrandmaMuggy]

Thanks! Love that scene! And enjoyed watching your process!

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Thanks again 😊. Those were the last days of our Scottish summer, Autumn is on it’s way! James

[@GrandmaMuggy]

@@JamesPotterAboutArt autumn is my favorite time of year! I thoroughly enjoyed watching you paint. Such a beautiful place is Scotland. I will probably never travel there at my age. And I’m always in awe of anybody that paints outside. Arthritis tends to keep me from doing that. Painting in my kitchen is what I do. LOL. Hope to see more of your painting soon. Thanks for sharing!

[@traceygodwin2081]

A lovely painting, i agree with you an oil rig could be an interesting composition

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Tracey, Glad you like the painting. I do find oil rigs strangely attractive. I think it’s the contrast with a beautiful landscape that make them seem so out of place and interesting. Thanks for watching, Best wishes, James

[@johnemerson7152]

top notch

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Thanks John Glad you liked it! 😊 Lots more to come James

[@TheAnkstar]

So beautiful! I love the light and the colours in your painting.

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Glad you enjoyed it, it was an amazing day; such light and colour. Thanks James 😊

[@abinezer81]

Lovely! What palette are you using James?

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Aby, Glad you liked the painting. I use a pallet called the binning Munro . Mine is made by the little brass box company in England. I did a full review video on it, so you can find out more about it by watching it. Hope you enjoy it . Best wishes, James

[@abinezer81]

Thank you so much@@JamesPotterAboutArt

[@giespel68]

Love it! And the choice of the colours. Very vibrant. Out of curiosity, where can I find the palette you're using?

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Glad you enjoyed it, I do enjoy a colourful painting! The palette I use is called a ‘Binning Monro’ made by The Little Brass Box Company. Craig Young also make the same style palette. I’ve done a review on my palette a few videos ago so have a look at that. Thanks James 😊

[@giespel68]

@@JamesPotterAboutArt thanks James. Sorry I must have missed your review. Will look into it!

[@watercolourmark]

It's only a happy accident the 1st time you do it. After that, it becomes a technique in your workflow.

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

I agree the more you notice accidents the more you leave them alone. Thanks James

[@granthudson-artist-painter]

Hi James, could you tell me , is that flat sable/syn approx half inch brush, that has good water holding capabilities and longish bristles, is it W & N brush ? Can I get one online ? Really enjoy your field trips to painting locations. Cheers Grant, NewZealand

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi Grant, Glad you’re enjoying our trips around Scotland. Yes, it’s the Windsor Newton mop. I did buy mine online so hopefully you can get it in New Zealand. I will be doing a video on my brushes very soon, so hopefully you can look out for that. Best wishes, James
