Winsor & Newton Summer Competition Winner
Chris Greenslade "December evening at Waitarere Beach"
This painting epitomises the ability of watercolour to depict light and atmosphere. The low horizon is an effective compositional device in what is essentially a sky painting. The figures on the beach add interest to the scene, as well as providing a focal point. The colours are well chosen, and a limited palette contributes to the painting's effectiveness. An evocative watercolour that captures the mood of a summer evening at the beach convincingly.
