Rhossili Bay and Gustav Klimt

My latest painting focuses on the sweep of Rhossili Bay in the Gower Peninsula. A large part of the image focuses on a large craggy cliff. Seeing this cliff when making my preliminary sketches made me think of the beautful shapes within Gustav Klimts famous painting 'The Kiss'. I decided to paint the cliff part of the painting using shapes reminiscent of the cloak in 'The Kiss'. I also used bold colours and textures within the painting to emphasise the strength and beauty of Rhossili Bay

Episode 1a - Exploring Southgate and Pobbles Bay

Each episode is in Two Parts. In part one we explore an area of the Gower Peninsula. In part two we look at a variety of painting techniques to help you paint your perfect landcsacpes in watercolour and Acrylics.

Episode 1a: Pobbles Bay is a small secluded Bay next to Three Cliffs Bay which shares a large rock that separates the Bays known as Three Cliffs. This video is my journey from Southgate across the Cliffs down to Pobbles Bay. Taking in the beautiful scenery along the way.
