Portland from Chesil Beach


A few colour sketches of Portland island from West Bexington on Chesil beach. The island was actually about 15km away so these are really just thumbnails. Quite nice to sit in the sun with a beer and doodle though.

I like the middle one best as it has a kind of watercoloury feel to it. I'd warmed up by then and was trying harder. Leaving the blank foreground works for me as well. I like the way it crops the image, even though there is nothing there, there is something there.
