Peggy's Cove #1

33X21 Pen and Ink Study hit with Water Color Wash & Acrylics on Arches 140#
Water Color Paper: Maybe 1 hour with a very unforgiving medium as the evening fog rolled in and frostbite set in. I used a natural sea sponge in the sky. I may try this later as I have a ton of photos. What a neat place on the edge of Nova Scotia

    Nice use of all the mediums. I sometimes like to do a watercolour and then use acrylics white and black to do the highlights and shadows only. Beautiful work Randy.

    Thanks, it was just too damn cold to continue after the fog rolled in. My Ca. blood is very thin. I think I’ll go back in the morning and try again. I love your golf course afternoon light. Made me wonder why I’m still working real estate.

    Congratulations on the feature Randy. This is a lovely piece of artwork, especially the sky.

  • Randy Sprout replied

    Thanks, Lynda. I was so cold after the fog rolled in I just had to stop. Maybe that is why it has some immediacy behind it. Anyway, it’s just a quick sketch. When I get back to sunny CA, I have tons of pictures of this place to paint.

    Scenes of Peggy’s Cove were/are an inspiration, many years ago, This piece shows why it is such an inspiration.

    Thanks MLabuda. Yup there is a painting here at every turn. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

    Excellent mixed media work here, Randy.
    Conveying a nice essence of the harbour scene.
    Watercolour is such hard work – (but satisfying when it behaves!), isn’t it?

  • Randy Sprout replied

    Thanks Colin and I can’t get it to work nearly like you can. It’s realy a struggle for me compared to my trusted acrylics, where if I don’t like something, one brush stroke and it’s gone.

    Thanks Karon, I really loved the Montana Winter Morning of yours, even the proportions of the sky were Montana.

    Brilliant artwork Randy,
    l often use mixed mediums, my freind Brian Towers always says” if it works why not use it” !!!

  • Randy Sprout replied

    Thanks George, it was more a matter of frustration and cold with my water colors just not getting the job done.

    Very attractive and well done work

  • Randy Sprout replied

    Thanks dial. I think I like your Arthurs Seat, Edinburgh the best. It looks like it would make a great painting also.
