I’ve added a figure in the right foreground area of the painting. Hopefully this will help the composition as this was an empty area before.
Sky, hills and sea are quickly blocked in. The drawing on the foreground nerds to be accurate, so I’m taking my time with it
Seascape Painting by J Reynolds, originally uploaded by noble gallery.
I often surf through the images on www.flickr.com just looking for images that capture my imagination. A few weeks ago I came up on this painting of a ship. I really like the naive style, bright colours and simple [...]
I’m often asked if I do commissions, and yes, I do. Here’s a painting I was commissioned to paint a couple of years ago - a view of Grasmere in the English Lake District. Its a long time since I finished the painting but I stumbled on this photo of it today and was pleased [...]

Here’s the latest stage of this painting. I’ve worked a lot on the sky, the characteristic outline of the mountain itself, and on adding boats to the foreground. I’ve also warmed up the colours slightly to give more contrast to the cool blues of the sky and water. I’m looking for a balanced painting both [...]
