Parlee Beach Dune (Cobra)

Finished this one yesterday. Total time 3.25 hours. Ironically I was on this same beach 2 days ago. Ah, summer!
6" x 6" using Cobra Water Mixables. Colours were mixed from Titanium white, Cad Yellow Med, Cad Red Medium, Ultramarine, Raw Umber.
This photo appears a bit blue to me, I should go back and tweak the file. But you get the idea...

Hi Alan,

I am 100% impressed.... WooooooWWWWWWWW!!!! This is awesome. Everything is perfect. Very unbelabored look and almost looks like a photograph. This would sell very easily.



I love the way you have done the shadows, the sand and the blades of grass... the harmony, the composition everything is superb... MAGNIFIQUE!

I hope to see many more of this caliber.

Hi Alan,

Faisal said it all...I especially love the grasses...great colors and form. You can feel them whipping int he wind.

Thanks for the kind words. I used a longer brush for the grasses. I forget the name of it, but probably the same brush that painters use to indicate ship rigging. Long thin brush....

This is really nice! I'm particularly interested in painting seascapes but have little background in doing so. You make me even more interested in trying one with this painting.
