Plein Air Painting in Oils at Porthallow Cornwall

Evening plein air painting in oils at Nare Point looking towards Porthallow in Cornwall UK. After a fairly long and difficult hike along the coast, I thought it would be nice to paint from the rocks at sea level looking over to Porthallow.

I had a 16" x 12" canvas on my Jullian French easel which withstood the windy conditions very well. The evening light is what I really love to paint. However this often means that the painting session is quite short - around an hour before the light fades.

That's where I like to take the painting back to the studio, leave it to dry and complete it with another session. This method of painting with oils gives me great satisfaction as I love painting plein air and I love painting in the studio. I can use many differing techniques - not just alla prima wet into wet - in my work.

The oil colours used in this painting were:
Warm White, Winsor Yellow, Cadmium Yellow, Lemon Yellow, Cadmium Orange, Cadmium Red, Magenta, Raw Sienna, Violet, Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Blue, Manganese Blue and Ivory Black.
