On the Rocks

On the rocks

I've been walking along beaches, mostly in North Wales with my head down, keeping an eye out for 'treasure' to draw. Beautiful green and red seaweed, a mermaid's purse, crab claws, feathers, pebbles and shells.

Rockpools are miniature underworlds of rich colour and reflections. Each one has something different to offer in shapes and colours.

Some of these images have been produced, wet on wet, drawing back through the layers to the original paper surface. Others have had details added layer by layer.
