Description
Aberaeron harbour boat moorings view painting shows anchored yachts and a moving speedboat within the confines of Aberaeron harbour. Town housing and the Holy Trinity church can be seen in the mid distance in front of woodland hills.
This painting is the right hand side to the split painting of Aberaeron Harbour Master View and shown on the previous page.
The original painting scene was digitally split in half, to make two prints from it and to learn how this could be best achieved.
The original painting is still intact and as one. It is painted in artist’s acrylic paint and on a panel ground sealed with gesso.
Aberaeron Harbour is an idyllic part of this mid West Wales coastal town. Colourful houses and bobbing boats have been captured in this loose style of painting. Although this Aberaeron harbour painting is quite detailed with regards to its content, the detail has been painted quickly to secure the overall spontaneity of the composition. The scene shows an early August 2011 light during mid to late afternoon.
You can see anchored boats and yachts on its partly drained harbour water. The tide was going out.
Additionally you can see some colourful housing with a small green common in front and shown on the mid right within the painting. Impression of colourful modern looking cars can be seen too along with people on the Green and on some roads between the houses.
The view is from the concrete and drab looking watch tower at the beach end of the quay and almost diagonally opposite the Harbour Master restaurant and hotel.
My idea behind the painting was to paint such a scene in a cheerful way and with bright colours and quickly too. No under drawings were made except for a few brush strokes - as a guideline on what was to be placed and where.
I visit Aberaeron frequently as my studio is only a few miles away inland. It is one of my favourite places to visit for the sake of just being there. Aberaeron is situated on the A487 coastal road between Aberystwyth and Cardigan but closer to Newquay.
