Beach Reflections Watercolours

This atmospheric watercolour landscape captures a dramatic coastal rock formation rising from the sandy Porthcothan Beach in Cornwall. The artist demonstrates skilled handling of the medium in rendering the weathered, textured surface of the dark volcanic or sedimentary rock stack, using varied tones of brown, grey, and black to convey its rugged character. The sweeping sky features dynamic brushwork with flowing wisps of cloud streaking across vibrant blue washes, creating a sense of movement and coastal weather. In the foreground, shallow tidal pools reflect the sky, painted with delicate wet-in-wet technique that captures the interplay of water, sand, and rock. The warm peachy-beige tones of the beach provide a subtle contrast to the cool blues above, while gentle waves break against the shore in the middle distance. The composition effectively conveys the quiet drama of the seaside.
