Sketching in Cornwall

We decided to have a trip to Mevagissey, Cornwall with the plan to do a few watercolour sketches on location and take lots of photos to use in the studio.  After a fabulous late breakfast in No. 5, Mevagissey we wondered around the gorgeous harbour - I just love painting boats, I felt like a child in a sweet shop snapping away and trying to settle on one scene to paint.  Eventually, I found a spot, sitting a few steps down toward the water to get a good view of a delightful fishing boat that couldn't be ignored and set about doing the sketch below:

You know what it's like when you get into the groove totally immersed in the process - well, I was unaware that a couple and their friend, who were on holiday, were watching me, they were standing above me for about twenty minutes my husband told me later.  When I had finished and began to gather everything together and make my way up the steps I was greeted with wonderful comments about my painting and asked if I would consider selling it!  Didn't want to disappoint them so agreed. They loved it especially as they had been watching its creation.  What a lovely complement :)
