Felpham Beach 

Here are some of the best subjects to paint on Felpham beach and why they're worth painting:

 1- The wooden groynes

• They create powerful leading lines that pull the eye towards the horizon.

• At low tide they cast long shadows and break up reflections.

• Great for practising perspective and texture.

• They also provide a contrast between weathered timber, wet sand and moving water.  

2- The wide beach at low tide

• Much more sand is revealed than at high tide.

• Wet sand acts like a mirror, reflecting the sky.

• Perfect for capturing changing cloud colours and subtle tonal shifts.  

3- Beach huts

• The colourful huts provide strong focal points against the muted beach colours.

• They work well in both realistic and impressionist paintings.  

4- The sailing club

• Felpham Sailing Club often has dinghies and masts lined up on the shore.

• Boats introduce interesting shapes, bright sails and a sense of activity.  

5- Rock pools

• At low water, rock pools appear among the groynes.

• They add reflections, seaweed, shells and small details for close-up studies.  

6- Sunsets

• Facing south means the evening light often sweeps across the groynes and water.

• During parts of the year the sun sets along the coastline, creating warm light across the beach that photographers and painters regularly seek out.  

7- Changing weather

• Sussex skies are often more interesting than the sea itself.

• Fast-moving clouds, showers and shafts of sunlight can become the main subject.
