Beach Huts No.2 - 2009

Every time I visit the coastal seaside towns of England I am amazed by the number of beach huts that exist in every shape, colour and size. Recently we visited Beer in south Devon on a cool windy day in June - british summers are so unpredictable - we enjoyed a favourite crab sandwich while sitting in a beach hut!

This painting is based on a collection of beach huts that I have seen in my travels and is typical of what you could see at almost any sandy beach in England.

I enjoy exploring more shapes and architectural styles of beach hut construction and I always include a washing line of 'whites' out to dry in the warm sunshine.

I hope you enjoy this new Beach Huts painting for 2009 as much as I enjoyed creating it.

About the Artist

Peter Bowen R.G.D., BA, an accomplished graphic designer and professional watercolour artist.

His unique style of painting architectural subjects with humorous situations has earned him an international reputation during the last 25 years with much of his work in private collections in Canada, the United States and Great Britain.

Ideas for pictures often start as a collection of sketches of things that I have seen. I then create a composition in my mind that I think would work. "Often I start sketching directly on to watercolour paper with a fine pen, letting the lines do the work and form the framework of the picture". Colour elements follow and start to bring life to the painting. Shading and tonal colour adds dimension to the framework of shapes.
