Second painting on my first day out in the Olympic peninsula. This was a great scene, I wish I could have done it justice.
This scene was super difficult, it had every problem in the book. Quickly changing sun, changing tide, atmospheric perspective, moving water, mass of random foliage, intense color, lots of drawing and subtle values throughout. I was not ready for this scene at all. I’m glad I took some photos cause I will have to study all of these issues one by one.
There is my new setup… I have already changed it as I was not happy with how functional it was.
I can’t believe that the trees past the beach are that dark. I painted these values very far off.
I took several picture showing the change in scenery within one and a half hours.
