Rocky Coast

I started this 21 x 14 piece in a watercolor demonstration for the Prince William Art Society at their monthly meeting in April 2009. On that night, I had thumbnail paintings used to setup the composition (I’ve done this scene many times) but was only able place initial washes and blocks of color to explain value differences. We ran out of time!

I finished the piece at home. A few changes were made. Had to scrub out some rocks, add wildflowers for interest to the foreground. Increased the value of middle distance rocks and move them out into the water to lead the viewer away from the building.

Thank you PWAS for having me at your meeting!
