It was a June evening and I thought it would be fun to do some oil painting en plein air at Rinsey Cove in Cornwall. It's not too far from home and was a calm evening. There was a large surf that was attracting some hardy surfers into the water. I was using my Jullian French easel and a small 10“ x 8“ plywood panel that I had gessoed ready for the oils. This was a very challenging plein air painting as the light was so flat with no real contrast. I painted quite thickly in an alla prima technique to build up some texture. My palette for this one included: Titanium white Lemon Yellow Cadmium Yellow Cadmium Red Magenta Cobalt Blue Ultramarine Blue Indian Red Naples Yellow Violet Ivory Black Thank you for watching PLEIN AIR PAINTING with oils - Rinsey Cove CORNWALL All the best - Andrew
