16''x20'' oil  People on Bournemouth beach with pier theatre                   © MARTIN DAVEY 2011 This is a painting of Bournemouth Beach, in the UK, showing the pier, with the pier theatre in the background. This is based on a number of photographs, combined and repositioned in photoshop. The final resulting image is then printed out, scaled up and redrawn on to the canvas.The people are always fun and interesting to paint. The water is always tricky to do but fun. There is a change of tone in the sea as it changes from one shade of blue/green to a more yellowy green.The feeling of bright sun seems to come across in the painting. It is painted on a canvas measuring 20" x 16" using oil paints.
