July WIP
-
Love the vibe of this piece. very unexpected in a good way, and beautiful color. I love the kids are so small compared to the sand castel.
The only thing I am wondering is that the sharks do not read so well. I am wondering if they could be from a different angle so one of them look definitely shark, and maybe the color could be more different from the sand castel. Right now, the sharks look more like a part of the sand sculpture. -
@Gary-Wilkinson Thank you so much!
-
@xin-li Thank you for the feedback. I agree about the shark's readability. I was originally going to have the shark made out of sand, but it wasn't working and got lost later on when correcting. Tried to adjust things somewhat and liven up the colors a bit more.
Going to call this one done as I've got too many other things I need to get back to
Tried to be a bit different with this than my usual paintings by only painting on 1 layer for most of it, with only 1 brush. I like how painterly it turned out and might experiment with this a bit more in the future 
-
@Gary-Wilkinson wow. so cool that you did in 1 layer and 1 brush.
-
@Gary-Wilkinson not sure if you will see this as this topic is a few months old, but I just loooove this so much! I was curious about the 1 layer painting approach, do you paint on a normal layer and was it an oil brush or pastel or something like that? I'm playing around with various approaches so was curious!
This is just such a fantastic piece in concept and execution, I love the painterly style!
