Cornish sketches

Just back from north Cornwall. Here are a couple of my favorite sketches from the last week. The first is of the main harbour in Padstow and the second of Polzeath, which has a big surfing community and currently where our Prime Minister is on holiday!

  2. I recognised Padstow harbour immediately from your sketch even though it's years since I was there

  3. I love your work, particularly your subtle & loose application of watercolour. I would love to know how you paint your skies & what paper & paint you use. I am currently practising watercolour skies & struggling with warping paper when using wet on wet. I have thus decided to look at architect's sketches, where the watercolour sky seems so effortless & yet attractive. All tips welcome.
