Effort
This was a fun painting that had some elements I liked and felt I was ready to learn. Eventually there is a seascape from my childhood I would like to try, so ... lets get started.
I started having issues with the sky right off the bat. Probably another issue of too much liquid white. So my sun is a bit lopsided.
Then I had problems with the horizon and waves coming from multiple directions.
The wave in the center I couldn't get under control.
I think I did much better on the foreground, and varying shades of the rocks, the brushes are getting better and I actually like the tree here.
So I have a couple areas I need to work on. No problem. I will have lots of opportunity in the future for working on these items.
