Sennen cove at dusk (2025) Original Watercolour by Samantha Adams

Sennen cove at dusk
Special places,
Cornish coast,
Atlantic Ocean,
Thinking back,
Past Christmas holiday.

Words and memories of my experience.
Original impressionist watercolour on hot pressed Fabriano 300gsm 140lb. I crested this watercolour painting seascape from my visual memory and feelings of being there.
The turquoise shades I can’t forget and the alluring , exotic , moody orange light with its charcoal greys, slate blues and earth shades.
I don’t use hot pressed watercolour paper very often, I fancied a change. I felt my colours looked more definite and stronger on the smooth watercolour paper.
I wet the paper and applied the yellow and orange tones with a sable hair brush all over. I then used a sweeping technique for the clouds. You can see I used the cloud colours in the turquoise deep jade ocean.
