The sunlight shining through the ocean wave transforms it to a vivid emerald green colour. A surfers dream. Whilst the sea foam rises up and under the wave giving the painting a 3D quality. The sunlight is hitting the top of the waves giving the surf a warm glow. Some of the beaches I like to visit for inspiration are:- North Devon Beaches: Woolacombe, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay and Westard Ho! provide the main, consistent surf spots. North Cornwall Beaches: Fistral Beach, Newquay, Watergate Bay, Perranporth, Crantock, Mawgan Porth have some of the best surfing beaches especially in winter with the most consistent, large, and challenging swells, while summer provides smaller, more manageable, and often sunny conditions. Inspiration I am an oil painter inspired by the energy of the seas. Studying film and art at the University of Plymouth has influenced the way I paint. It is important to me to include a sense of movement in my work. Having moved permanently to Devon 18 years ago, it is Devon and Cornwall’s coastline that still inspires me. My seascape series of paintings have evolved over the years. I am keen to explore the force of the ocean, the light coming through the waves and the ever changing colour of the sea. This painting has lots of texture with wide sweeping brush marks. For my work I like to use oil paint. This medium is very versatile allowing you to add thick impasto layers or more fluid translucent ones. As a result this medium is very useful when you want to capture ocean waves in all their forms and variety of colours. Also it is such robust a medium I can scrape the paint back or scratch into it too for added texture. I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art in 2008 at the University of Plymouth. I have exhibited my paintings throughout Devon and gained an award at the Exeter Short Film festival. My films and photographs have been exhibited on the South Bank, London and in Italy. I am a Geopark Ambassador Artist for the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark. Here is a time-lapsed video of my painting process Here is a link to my Collector Guarantee.
