Roman Remains at Oludeniz , Turkey in Watercolour by B.F.Kirkham
Salford, Sunday 29th January 2017
A Watercolour painting of the Roman ruins at Oludeniz, Turkey
Mum and Dad were out of the house this weekend, visiting my little sister and her family,
A marathon session of CSI, NCIS and FA Cup football were planned – and went very well,
(Manchester Utd winning 4-0 on the big tv)
but in between times, i’ve been painting scenes from old holiday snaps and diaries
Rough pencil marks guided me around the page as i blocked out the scene in paint.
Colours used on this one –
Cerelean Blue for the sea,
Burnt Umber for the sand
Sap Green for the plants on the path
Vermillion, Burnt Umber, Crimson and Yellow Ochre for the bricks
Cat (alt title : Marmalade) By Brian F Kirkham
Pencil sketch of cat water coloured by the Artist
Sap Green was used for the Cats eyes
Vermillion , Burnt umber and Crimson for the Cats Fur
