Make the Most of the Coast Meetup

Make the Most of the Coast Meetup

Saturday 11 January
Eastney - 10pm - 2 Hours
Portsmouth Photography Group
Jon Mainwaring
A beach location is perfect for photography due to its raw, natural beauty and the variety of textures available. Elements like fishing boats, rusty chains, and debris add character and tell a story of time and nature's effects. These subjects, often weathered by saltwater and wind, offer incredible texture and contrast that can be accentuated through black and white photography. The rust on chains or the peeling paint on boats brings out rugged details, perfect for monochrome imagery, where shadows and highlights become more pronounced. Beach photography also allows for creative compositions, from close-up shots of decaying materials to expansive landscapes with a moody, atmospheric feel.

Title or Location: Macaws
My inspiration for this piece was simply my love of birds. I recall well our visits to the local tourist attraction ?Birdworld? as a child, the squawking, chattering and colourful plumage fascinated me. We also had pet birds, including budgies, cockatiels and lovebirds. I now have three conure birds - Indigo, Louie and Kiki - all of whom have different personalities and colourations. For this piece I have worked in water-soluble oils and hope to have captured not only their beautiful colours

Oil sketch, 11?x14?. This is my first attempt with oils after a 38 year career as an exhibit designer. Started with quick turp washes, then built up some detail. I was going to continue, but I kind of like it the way it is. Anxious to start another, and having fun.

Title or Location: Wooden Wave
This piece is acrylic on wood. I used some scrap pieces I had cut from the end of a wooden board I was using. The actual wave and cliff are from where the knot in the board had separated. As soon as I saw it I knew what I was going to do with it. This is two pieces of wood, individually painted and then screwed together. I love upcycling these scraps.

Title or Location: A memorial drawing of George napping with Chris
I originally drew George for Chris a few years ago but after he passed more recently, Chris came to me with a photograph which he said meant a lot to him and asked if I could do a drawing of it. It was a bit of a challenge but I did the best I could with it and when I sent an image of my drawing to Chris he first just replied ?there are no words? but he then came back later with:?wish you had known him Alan and in a strange way it?s like you did. You portray my bond with him like no one else c
