This is a page from my sketch book showing some of my thumbnail sketches. The one on the top right is my small study for the previous post of “Snow Scene at Pittenweem”. I love doing these thumbnails and they give me energy to get on with my next painting.
Today I finished this painting of snow covering the beach on West Shore Pittenweem. My inspiration was from a visit last year on Boxing day. The path along West Shore was very icy. I loved the golden light across the water with snow covered foreground.
This was my first drawing at the start of a new term of Life Drawing Class in Dundee. I am enjoying the challenge that this kind of drawing from life demands.
