Falesia and Falesia 1 Olhos d'Agua, Algarve
acrylics by Tessa Spanton SWA (c)
Framed with a cream mount and light wood frame, approx size 18x22in
The one above will be on show at the Mall Galleries, London with the Society of Women artists July 28th-Aug 7th
These 2 paintings were done in my studio using photos I took and bringing together
some of my findings from the earlier explorations and studies when there.
The
colours there on a bright day and the smoothness of some of the
bands of rock were amazing.
I love the orange blue pairing of
complementary colours. We were going to the Algarve so because of the colours I bought W and N Desert collection of watercolours. Watercolours are more portable and easier to use
outside than acrylics so I took these watercolours.
I did several studies and experiments with these colours all done
there in front of the views.
The beach is called Falesia which means cliff. The beach stretches for miles and the cliffs are the backdrop have the most stunning colours and patterns.
we stayed at the Portobay Falesia above the beach with views of the rocks and sea.
