Plein Air and Studio Painting : St Agnes Head Cornwall

An evening spent plein air oil painting at the amazing St Agnes Head in Cornwall surrounded by beautiful heather and fresh sea air.
After a great session en plein air I thought the painting needed a bit more work, so I finished it off in the studio when it was dry.

Watch as I work outdoors in the elements and then in the relative calm of the studio to complete this 12" x 10" oil on canvas.

The colours on my palette were:
Sap Green
Ivory Black
Cobalt Blue
Ultramarine Blue
Violet
Raw Sienna
Indian Red
Magenta
Cadmium Red
Cadmium Orange
Lemon Yellow
Cadmium Yellow
Warm White

I used some turpentine mixed with the oil paints for the initial paint application. I was using a glass palette that was recycled from an old fridge shelf. My easel is a full size Jullian French box easel.

Thanks for watching and please leave any questions in the comments section below.

All the best - Andrew
