“DRAMATIC SEASCAPE”

 

The above seascape describes a stormy windy day that gives this painting drama and an atmospheric quality.   The rocks in the foreground are reflected in the wet sand and the beach walker brings scale to the work.

This painting is done on a very wet surface and with a limited palette of raw sienna, burnt sienna and ultramarine blue.  The jacket on the figure is permanent red.  The final details are painted once the surface is dry enough to produce hard edges.

 

You will need a plastic water container, rags (cotton towels are excellent), sketch paper for exercises and note taking and a hairdryer is also useful. I recommend an inexpensive watercolor pad.  

 

Class is limited to 15. If you have any questions call 823-1905 or email ja864@yahoo.com
