HELEN ATKINS

My paintings are painted in my studio using acrylic paints. I spend hours outside watching

the sea and either sketch or make small watercolours to use as a basis for my larger paintings.

I often make a written description about which direction the wind is blowing as it will often cause interesting spindrift effects, also the way the light on the water changes the sea colours

constantly. I love the energy of the storm waves and the contrast they have to the tranquil and peaceful seascapes. I try to capture those moods and emotions in my paintings.
