August Blue is an oil-on-canvas painting by English artist Henry Scott Tuke. It depicts four youths in and around a boat, bathing in the sea. Tuke started the painting in 1893, probably en plein air on a boat in the harbour at Falmouth, Cornwall. The finished painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy summer exhibition in 1894, and immediately purchased for the Tate Gallery, where it remains to this day. It has a light Impressionistic style, possibly influenced by his travels to Italy, Corfu and Albania in 1892.
