    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.

    I 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.
      The coconut picker was requested by the client, actually :)

MC Colouring Contest

Image
The Muddycolors blog called a colouring contest that I just had to take part in. The image was provided by Annie Stegg from her new colouring book, and was great fun to work on. The contest was divided into digital and traditional colouring - I had to make things complicated of course, and used Painter's Watercolour Brushes that emulate traditional media very well. And eat up ALL the available space of your computer - I could barely get a text editor to work alongside that. The winners will be announced after Thanksgiving, so keep your fingers crossed!
