Parlee Beach Dune

Another 6" x 6" in Cobra paint, my first working with that brand. On MDF, primed with 3 coats gesso. Limited palette of 5 tubes: Titanium white, Yellow, Red, Blue, and Raw Umber. This one still needs the dune grass along the top, some wooden fencing, and some fine tuning of the sand, but I am enjoying the adventure.

It looks great. I love the way you have done the rocks. How do you like the Cobras after using W/N all the time?

Nice! Can't wait to see it finished.

Hi
Thanks for the comments, Judy and Crystal1. I actually like the Cobras a lot. They mix well, and have a very good painting consistency right out of the tube. They seem to dry a little slower than the Artisans, which takes a little getting used to. I will likely continue to use them.

The consistency ws one of the things that I really liked about the Cobras.

Hi Alan,

I love this painting. The first impression is what counts and it did it for me. It looks complete at this stage. I like the freshness and un-belaboured look. Wonderful.

Did you prepare the Gessoed MDF board yourself or did you buy it?

Hi Faisal
Thanks for the comments. The painting does look complete, you're right! But I will press on, as the grass was what caught my eye originally. This is a view from about 20 minutes drive from here, but it took a whole year to get it from my photo to the MDF board. I purchased a large piece of it, cut it to smaller panels, then gessoed several panels by hand. I give them 3 coats, front and back, sanding after each coat. A labour of love, I suppose...
