Sun break
This piece is a delicate yet vibrant watercolour that captures a fleeting, dramatic moment off the coast of Kirkby. The painting portrays the sun breaking through the heavy, shifting clouds, scattering light across the restless sea. I wanted to create the interplay of light and shadow and capture that dynamic composition, with the sunlit areas radiating warmth, in contrast to the cooler, moody tones of the clouds and water.
The sea at that time was choppy. I wanted to convey that through expressive brushwork and nuanced gradients, suggesting the constant push and pull of the waves. I wanted the ever-changing clouds above to have that movement, with their shifting forms.
I wanted to seize the moment within this painting. I have always had a deep connection with such natural environments and I wanted that raw power and ephemeral beauty of the coast to come through within this painting.
