9.   Mixing Earth Colours

Picture
Filitosa 3  acrylic on calico  73 cm x 52 cm  £1200 Liz Cleves 
The colours in this painting were inspired by the colours of the Devon Cliffs. When I swim from Budleigh Steamer Steps, I can swim along parallel with the water's edge and look up at the amazing Old Devonian Sandstone cliffs.  I started off  this painting working quite pale, but as I began to focus in on what I wanted the outcome to be I started to mix up warmer colours. I introduced blues and greens to help to keep the compositional balance right. 
I think that much of the composition consists of curves and part circles because I am so aware of the morning sun and also the movement of the ocean.

N B When this work is framed I will probably turn in the edges and then mount the whole thing on a white back board and frame.
