more ocean waves

pastel on somerset paper

When I am stuck on a painting, there is something very soothing about doing a value study. My best friend Leah sent me photos of her Nova Scotia beaches. This is Clam Harbour. I really want to get to the beach now. But instead I will return to the struggle of painting.

Hi Sam!
Good point about the grays there being full spectrum...it gives me an idea. Thank you.; March 16, 2011 at 1:10 PM

This value study has the feel of a cold winters day on the beach, the wind in your face and the sound of the waves on the sand.
