Landscape 2 _ Evening Sea

"Evening Sea"

Mix Media on Paper

This weekend I worked more on my landscapes.This is an imaginary scene painted in watercolors.I used a tissue to dab on the wet paper to create clouds. Several changes were made in the lower part of the painting --first it was ground,then a shore- finally I settled for the vast expanse of water. Tiny boats were added later in pastels to make it lively.

Treasure hunt

This was done from a photo that I had taken of my son picking up pebbles at Brighton's pebble beach, UK. As it happened, I was looking forward to taking a lot of photos that day, but the sun decided to play spoil sport.When we reached the beach, it became so cloudy that my spirits were dampened! This photo did not have any sunlight,too...But I have visualized it as I wanted it to be and added my own light here!
