Tried painting a beach today. I'm alwasy scared of painting waves.. so easy to get it wrong.. this reference picture didn't have any waves in it but what is a beach without waves 😜
Sketch just had horizon and a boat.
There were two kids in the reference, I made one a grown up kids alone at beach is not a happy image
Was happy about getting the boat almost perfectly. Should have added few people in it to get a depth.. and yes a far away boat is my own creation it looked too empty without it.
