Description: | The splashy brushstrokes and bright colours of this watercolour reflect the influence of Impressionist art on British watercolour painting at the beginning of the 20th century. The picture has been created with rapid strokes of the brush, and is quite likely to have been painted on the beach itself. Areas of thicker opaque colour emphasise the figures. The picture is similar to a watercolour of Tynemouth Beach (also in the collections) painted by John Atkinson in 1907. He was making a visit to his home area of the North East from Yorkshire, where he was living from 1900 to 1914. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement artists North Tyneside living in the North East watercolours art North East artists children leisure women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
