I am continuing to work on the wave painting from the image I captured while on a boat in Australia. Right now I'm currently concentrating on where the waves splash, and I'm finding it hard to not make them look like a tree. I know that sounds silly, but they splash a certain way and I want to duplicate it! The bottom HALF of the painting is just roughed in for now, with absolutely no concentration, however, I did have to turn everything upside down to check my work. I know I can fluff on the waves quite a bit, but one must still make it believable.
It's hard to tell in this photo upload but I added some lighter color also to the rocks right behind the waves. I think the one thing that stands out for me with this painting is the contrast of colors and it's a scene not many viewers see. Also, as you can tell, my palette of colors got a LOT smaller!
Now onto "critique and eat" where my artist friends and I critique our work and then have a bite to eat.
