37 cm (w) x 27.5 cm (h), conté and pastels on acid-free coloured-ground Canson paper. Date produced: 1988 - 1992
Drawn on-site, at Glenelg. The sunlit jetty looked stunning against the blues of the sky and the water. The jetty itself is made of concrete, with steel railings. It is an excellent place to walk along, to enjoy the sea air, and to enjoy the wide views all around. I concentrated on recording the colours that were observed. One realises quite quickly just how rich and subtle real world colours are, when one tries to reproduce those colours with pigments. The real world seen through our eyes offers an amazing range of light and colour.
