2c – The Smugglers
The Smugglers
Well I admit I did choose any tenuous link to the Cornish setting and went off at a bit of a tangent. Probably a good thing, because it highlights my problem with this story, in that I just don’t seem to “get” the atmosphere of it. As a result, I went back to what I know about British Landscape painting, and I love
Peter Lanyon’s work, and also tried to get in some nods to other landscape artists. The model I used wasn’t actually from the Cornish coast – I was down in Aberystwyth the other week, and took my sketchbook along, did a couple of pastel drawings (which you can see on
this page, by the way!), and whilst not the actual setting, I hope the painting benefits from some primary observation – something it’s not often possible to do on this project, what with it being about TV episodes made 40 years ago!
