I created this watercolour to capture a quiet, intimate moment between two figures set against a vast coastal landscape. Their closeness contrasts with the openness around them, suggesting both connection and stillness. I was particularly drawn to the soft light across the water and mountains, using gentle washes of colour to evoke a sense of calm and emotional warmth.

In this piece, I allowed the watercolour to move freely, especially in the sky where layered tones suggest shifting light and atmosphere. The distant sailboat and expansive horizon add a sense of depth and quiet escape, while the figures remain the emotional focus. This work reflects my interest in capturing fleeting, personal moments within broader natural spaces.

Their relaxed interaction suggests connection and ease, set against the constant movement of the sea. I was interested in the contrast between the stillness of the figures and the fluid, shifting energy of the water surrounding them.

I allowed the watercolour to flow freely, layering blues to convey depth and motion, while keeping the figures more defined to hold the focus. The warmth of their skin tones and the simplicity of their forms bring a human closeness to the scene. This work reflects my ongoing interest in capturing fleeting, everyday moments of connection within natural coastal settings.

In this watercolour, I wanted to capture the warmth and relaxation of a shared afternoon on the coast. I used soft, layered washes to build the expanse of the bright blue sky and the distant, hazy mountains that frame the shoreline. The loose brushwork in the foreground emphasises the texture of the golden sand, while the turquoise sea provides a vibrant contrast to the sun-drenched landscape.

The heart of the piece is the quiet interaction between the two figures resting on the beach. I focused on their relaxed poses—one reclining in green trunks and the other sitting in a red top and wide-brimmed hat—to suggest a sense of peaceful companionship. By keeping their features minimalist, I hoped to evoke a universal feeling of a perfect summer getaway where time seems to slow down.

The quiet connection between the two figures at the water's edge forms the heart of the work. I rendered them in crisp whites and deep blues to harmonise with the coastal palette, making their close embrace the primary focal point. By focusing on their silhouettes and natural, barefoot stance against the tide, I hoped to evoke a sense of companionship and the simple pleasure of a day at the beach.

My goal with this work was to portray a serene, sun-filled moment of togetherness by the water's edge. I layered vibrant washes of ultramarine and turquoise to create the depth and rhythm of the sea, while using warm ochre and amber tones to give the shoreline a sun-drenched, radiant feel. The visible brushstrokes and overlapping colours aim to mimic the natural movement of the tide as it laps against the sand.

At the heart of the painting is the quiet connection between the two figures standing at the water's edge. I chose a bright lime green and a deep lavender for their clothing to create a vibrant focal point that stands out against the cool blues of the ocean.

I felt inspired to explore the rhythmic complexity of multiple waves rolling towards the shore in this pastel study. I used the gritty texture of the paper to my advantage, layering crisp whites and pale greys to build the frothy, agitated crests of the surf. The deep cobalt of the horizon provides a sharp contrast to the lighter, more translucent teals and greens of the shallows, capturing the varied moods of the water as it moves.

The focus of this piece is the central burst of sea spray where a wave has just broken. I applied the pastels with short, energetic marks to mimic the chaotic beauty of the foam, while using softer, blended strokes for the damp sand in the foreground. By balancing these sharp details with broader bands of colour, I hoped to evoke the refreshing atmosphere and constant motion of a breezy day by the sea.

My aim with this piece was to capture the vibrant, sun-drenched energy of an intimate moment shared in the surf.   I used bold, layered washes of indigo and turquoise to build the depth of the rolling waves, contrasting them against the warm, golden glow of the sunset breaking through the clouds. The loose, energetic brushwork allows the colours to bleed into one another, mimicking the constant movement and spray of the sea.

The heart of the piece lies in the quiet connection between the two figures at the centre of the composition.

I wanted to capture the raw emotion of a joyful, windswept embrace between these two figures. By using broad, fluid washes of cobalt and indigo for the background, I aimed to suggest the exhilarating energy of the sea or a vast, open sky. I kept the brushwork loose and energetic, particularly in the long, golden strands of hair that seem to catch the breeze, to give the scene a sense of movement and spontaneity.

The heart of the piece is the intimate connection conveyed through their close proximity and the way they lean into one another. I painted the figures in varying shades of blue to harmonise with the atmosphere, letting the warmth of their skin tones and the bright red detail on the nails stand out as focal points. To me, this work is about a singular, happy moment where everything else blurs into a soft, dreamlike haze.

In this painting, I sought to capture the quiet magic of a coastal evening spent by the warmth of a small fire. Deep, moody indigos define the distant headland and the rhythmic pull of the tide, while softer, peach-toned washes in the sky hint at the fading light of dusk. By using a textured, dry-brush technique for the sand, I wanted to ground the scene in a sense of rugged, natural beauty that contrasts with the fluid movement of the sea.

The heart of the work lies in the shared stillness between the two figures wrapped in a checked blanket. I focused on their close proximity and the small, glowing campfire to evoke a feeling of sanctuary and intimate companionship against the vastness of the shoreline. To me, this piece represents those rare, private moments where the outside world feels miles away, leaving only the sound of the waves and the comfort of being together.
