This scan has a really greenish cast for some reason – or maybe I just used a lot of green without realizing it. Anyway, given the fact that yesterday’s painting looked like it was sliding uphill into the ocean (art can do that, even if reality can’t), I worked on it again, this time using gouache. Here, the sand works a lot better – at least it seems to be doing the right sandy thing!
Maybe some watercolor tomorrow of the same subject?

Either way, I’d like to visit there right now!
Well,that one has better perspective, but weirdly I liked the other one better. It doesn’t matter though it’s what you like that counts.
I like the pastels one better, too, Fraggy. Nicer colors.
Just a few hours away in Santa Barbara County!
