Bournemouth beach:Pier theatre

Bournmeouth_beach_pier_theatreBournemouth beach: pier theatre

This was painted in oils on a 16" x 20" canvas and is of the sunny, sandy beach at Bournemouth, Dorset ,UK.
The pier itself was originally built in the 1800s, but was extensively rebuilt in 1950 and the theatre (or theater) was built in 1960, and shill holds summer shows and plays.
This was painted during late January/early February 2011 when the UK was caught in an ice/snowy grip!
Other paintings of the beach can be seen here .

This is a painting of Bournemouth Beach, in the UK, showing the famous pier, with the pier theatre at the end of it, in the background. The artwork is based on a number of photographs, combined and repositioned in photoshop. The final resulting image is then printed out, scaled up and redrawn by hand on to the canvas.

The people and their activities are always fun and interesting to paint. The water is always tricky to do but fun. There is a change of tone in the sea as it changes from one shade of blue/green to a more yellowy green, as the water becomes shallower. The feeling of bright sun seems to come across in the painting. It is painted on a canvas measuring 20" x 16" using oil paints.
