Vis a vis yesterday's plein air painting trip to Newhaven, here are a couple of photo's showing the progress through the picture and indeed what we were looking at to paint. The first shows it after I have completed the initial wash-in and then the painting in of the sky and background buildings. The second shows it when I am starting to paint the foreground boat. You might be able to tell from the first photo how I have altered the background buildings to get a better composition and then understand my decision to knock them back and simplify them so that the focus of the painting is the boat.
