Great to see the smaller size painting being showcased. People bang on and on about larger work but a well crafted 7" x5" or sympathetically detailed 8" x 6" , framed well , can turn just as many heads. And open some wallets too !. Giffgaff work Michael.
Gorgeous! I loved how you spoke through your thought process, down to the colors and types of brushes. I a total newby to painting, but you're discussion of the shadows and sand, and really just seeing your choices of where to put the elements was extremely helpful. Thanks for sharing your talent.
I think the foam has too much contrast. The rolling wave in the foreground got better with more layers, but it might have worked better to start off with less shadow in there and more of a mid tone closer to white before adding the individual splashes. I'm not sure the individual dots are needed all the way through, though. It might be better to do a softer blend in the middle, and break up the edges of the white with individual dots. I can tell you really like to pack in as much detail as possible, though, so maybe just adding more translucent layers of dots over the dark shadows would get it there.
It's definitely not bad, I just was bouncing in my seat a little over the foam, haha. I was like "SMOOSH IT! C'MON!" haha.

Super painting! Please tell what colors are used to paint this.
Not only are you an incredibly talented artist, you're also an excellent teacher!
I'm lovin' it! It is so relaxing watching you painting 🙂 And you make it look easy way. Is it possible to copy your technique with acryl paint?

Great Stuff—i should be OK with this, 'cause my hands shake involuntarily anyway.
Nicely done. I like the way you deal with light and water.
