Painting at Port Manech

Yesterday we drove to Port Manech in Brittany, we had a great time at the beach and an amazing lunch. Afterwards we went to the little port at Port Manech, it's only small but has amazing views. I could see the beach we had been sat on that morning, the tide had come in so much that the shallow pools we had been paddling in were now underwater.

I set up my paints on the car bonnet and made a quick watercolour sketch of the view. While I painted I listened to the sound of people having fun jumping into the water, I imagined the water to still be a little cold this time of year!

The tree on the horizon was a very interesting shape, it reminded me of something I might see in a Japanese painting. I think I may use that tree as inspiration for another piece.

I love the brush shapes. The strokes and the colors. I love how can I see you getting more into painting through all this time. I think Steemit transformed your skills. You are awesome.. re-steemed.

You are an awesome friend, thank you. I think my style of working has adapted since being on here, maybe because of the interactions with others.

nice painting !

This is beautiful @opheliafu!

Thank you so much @mariandavp, I'm using it as inspiration for another piece. I'm hoping to paint the next one leaning on a solid surface like a table and not the car bonnet!

I think you got a talent in managing adversities when you paint... looking forward to the next one!

It looks so pretty there. I want to jump in that water!

There were people jumping off the port walls, no cliff jumping though!

Awwww man! No cliffs. :-P That water looked clear. Could people snorkel?

I think some of the kids were doing that yes.

What a beautiful place where you have visited congratulations for the beautiful choice, so enjoy a walk, a real source of inspiration, beautiful work you have done, thank you very much for that beautiful gifts
Have a great start to the week

It's been a wonderful start- sun, beach and plenty of ice cream!

I agree, good point

Haha @eeks see what I just told you? @opheliafu paints like a lady god!!! I will be happy if @opheliafu will paint me Hiiyaaaa.
Doing a great job here...steemit is beautiful, because of the quality work you showcase here daily..Keep it up and more success

Maybe on a quiet day!! ;D
Thank you for your kind comments in regard to my work.

You are welcome-always. Hope you are aware of the recent downfall in all altcoins. Pls see my latest post

Wow so beautiful, I can not believe no one is fishing in that beautiful water with those rocks on the shore there must be great fish. Beautiful painting and representation. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼

I think they take the boats out to do that. There were lots of people cockling (gathering cockles) at low tide on the beach we had been on too.

I cant wait until I am no longer tied to our retail lication so I can travel to places like that and fish. Maybe I will see you painting out there one day 🙌🏼🙌🏼😊

Great little painting, Love en plein air painting as well.
Look forward to more.
Following!

Good use of the terminology there, always appreciated! This coastline has been painted many times by impressionist painters.

Great work. I particularly love how you detailed the small river or stream that's in between two portions of land. Nice!
