Paintings given as Christmas gifts. Still working on photographing my work - bloody mess when you're not much of a photo guy, like me - but it's improving. Formats are 40×50cm illustration board with canvas texture, 24×30 twice, and 25×30cm stretched canvases, respectively. Mediums used were acrylic paints, gel pens, pigmented ink pens, coloured pencils, structure paste, and Indian ink.
Gorgeous! I love the vibrant greens and blues of beach scenes. Looking at this, I almost feel like I'm there. It reminds me of a Florida vacation I took a couple years ago.
ReplyDeleteI like pictures that have people in them, but don't make the people the main focus. Usually I do it for humor, but it's also nice just to be a fly on the wall (or on the beach in this case) and watch the people go about their day. I actually didn't notice the person in the tree until the second time I looked.
I'm happy you like it. It was really nice to do the difference between the shallow and deep water and the glaring sunshine - not something I usually do. It's funny how things that are boring in photos can make such nice paintings. I love how very clear water makes things seem to float in midair.
DeleteThe coconut picker was requested by the client, actually :)
