'Blazing Sun and Bitter Wind' Painting by Devon landscape artist Joe Webster

30 Mar BLAZING SUN, BITTER WIND

Posted at 21:14h in Art, Videos by Joe Webster

Old Harry Rocks, Jurassic Coast, 24.3.2019, 155 x 165 cm, Acrylic on Canvas This piece was painted on a day of extreme contrasts. In sheltered areas there was a gloriously warm sun for a March day but on the edge of these cliffs the wind was really fierce and icy. The wind kept blowing the tripod over - many times I re-set it quickly enough that it didn't disturb the shot but after quite a few hours of exposure I had a headache and was feeling drained. There were also thousands of tourists milling past. I persevered and am pleased with the result.

‘Bluebells and Dormice’, bluebell art for sale by Devon landscape artist Joe Webster

04 Nov BLUEBELLS AND DORMICE

Posted at 12:30h in Art, Videos by Joe Webster

I had the pleasure to paint this piece with the company of a few dormice and filmmaker Esmie Widlake, who produced this beautiful film about my practice. As with all my pieces it was painted 'en plein-air' / on location at Ladysmith Woodland, South Dartmoor...

28 Jan YELLOW FIELD MAPLE ON BLUE

Posted at 16:00h in Videos by Joe Webster

22 second time-lapse Video of a Yellow Field Maple filmed over 2 hours whilst painting. The palette flicks in-front of the camera whilst I was furiously trying to capture the intensity of the yellow leaves on the blue sky before the sun set! ...

16 Jan THROUGH THE STORM

Posted at 14:02h in Videos by Joe Webster

This piece was painted along with 'Incoming Storm' on a grey, dramatic, stormy day with no-one else around, (often my favourite conditions on the coast due to the drama and challenge). As I worked, a dark cloud appeared on the horizon and swiftly moved in...

15 Nov YELLOW SPLASH

Posted at 13:16h in Videos by Joe Webster

This was an exciting piece to paint because of the drama from the high winds literally ripping the last of the colour from the trees as we approached winter. I am happy with the mark-making in the resulting piece, illustrated here with the skeletal contrasts...

15 May CHASING THE FALLING TIDE

Posted at 09:16h in Videos by Joe Webster

This was one of the first videos I made exploring ways to view, experience and capture a landscape beyond paint. I have focused on a small abstract section of the vista examining the complexity of layers within such a small area. I worked on the...

15 May FAWN IN DANCING BLUEBELL RIVER LIGHT

Posted at 09:11h in Videos by Joe Webster

This was a lovely tranquil day spent painting this scene, the warmth, the sound of the birds and water and at one point a young deer who emerged from a nearby coppice to watch me for a while. The changing, flickering light is caught well...

14 May BLUEBELLS DOG WALKERS AND A PARROT

Posted at 09:05h in Videos by Joe Webster

This video is a 'slow-burner' watch it until the light breaks through the canopy! I have been painting bluebells in their brief May window for over 10 years but this year I felt I had a real breakthrough in capturing the dappled, changing contrasts of...
