Oil. Alistair Butt © 2013 - #AB 021343
This oil painting is from the harbour wall looking back to part of the fishing village of Staithes which is located on the North Yorkshire coast to the north of Whitby. A popular location for both artists (The Staithes Group and The Fylingdales Group - information about both groups can be found on the link) and photographers.
On this day it was the light on the water that caught my eye, with the line of fishing boats (one having some repairs done) coming next and those backed by part of the village and cliffs (that enclose the harbour) which were in shadow plus had a little hazy/smoke.
Materials used: Winsor & Newton paint, mediums and gesso for the board, Zest It (brush cleaner and paint thinner), Rosemary and Co brushes of different sizes and series - see my website for more details.
