I have a couple beach paintings to share with you today. I’m always inspired by the beautiful colors at the beach. ๐
Happy Thursday!

First layer of quiet beach watercolor
After applying the base layer of a painting it’s a good idea to step back and take a thoughtful look.
You can see that the horizon needs to be straightened up and the distant water needs to be darkened. In addition, the foreground needs darker colors and more detail to bring it forward.

Quiet Beach watercolor painting – 9 x 12 inch
The second layer and final details make a big difference.

Beach blues watercolor painting – 8 x 8 inch
This is a beach painting from a few months ago. I’m not in love with the sky in this one but I do love the sparkle in the water and how the grasses frame out the foreground.
I hope you are inspired to create art and have fun. Take good care of yourself and shine on!
