I’ve begun work on a new oil. It’s 18 x 24“ on canvas. I have laid it with a thin yellow ochre. The composition is drawn out in charcoal and tonight I have loosely painted in the underpainting. The scene is along the estuary at Chidham. The plan is to gradually work over the painting in thicker oil and hopefully produce a harmonised picture that captures the lonely beauty of this stretch of coast near Chichester, West Sussex.
