Description
My Aberaeron harbour master view is a colourful acrylic print showing part of Aberaeron’s harbour. There are anchored boats on its water and with colourful painted houses, people, cars and a dog, on its quay; shown on the left. The view is from the watch tower at the beach end of the quay and almost diagonally opposite the Harbour Master restaurant and hotel.
This print is the left hand side to the split print entitled Aberaeron Harbour Boat Moorings View Painting and which is shown on the next page. I digitally split the original painting scene, on a panel and painted in acrylic pigment, in half, to make two prints from it and to learn how this could be achieved. The original painting is still intact and as one.
The harbour at Aberaeron is an idyllic part of this mid West Wales coastal town. Colourful houses and boats have been captured in this loose style of painting. The tide was nearly out and the harbour was partially drained of its sea water. You can see that some yachts are showing their keels.
Although this 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 light during a mid to late afternoon.
You can see people sitting on the quay wall and one person has stooped to pick up something in the foreground. Other people are chatting, carrying shopping and just strolling either on the quay’s path or on the road with parked cars adjacent to it.
In the distance, you can see more of the town and the partially wooded hills beyond.
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 go where.
I visit Aberaeron frequently as my studio is only a few miles away inland. It is one of my favourite places to visit and generally for the sake of just being there.
