Rick Stein's Cornwall Series 2 with Artist Sue Read
I had the best day filming at Porthcothan with Rick Stein and the production team for Rick Steins Cornwall Series 2.
It was a beautiful day and I made a cracking painting which I went on to finish in the studio. It wasn’t easy talking to camera and painting, but the team put me at ease and we had a great conversation. The highlight though had to be going for a quick dip with Rick in the sea. It was chilly, but appeared tropical.
The response to the programme was just phenomenal and I have met the loveliest of new followers and collectors through orders or visits to the studio.
Sue featured with Rick Stein’s Cornwall Series 2 Episode 5 Friday 7th January BBC2 .

Prints of ‘Porthcothan Blues’ are available. Further info is below. The original is special to me and on my own wall for now.
“Porthcothan Blues”
. Just hearing the sound of the sea Mordros was enough for me to paint instinctively using a myriad of blues, from cerulean, to cobalt and indigo and more, hence the painting title.
Just paint and we will chat said the director. Easier said than done, but I loved the experience and am delighted with the finished painting.
