BEACH BUDS

I’ve been enjoying doing my landscape studies, but this morning I walked into the studio and wanted to try something new. I have a folder of reference photos I call ‘umbrellas on the beach’. They’re mostly shot with a telephoto, rather surreptitiously, since I prefer the subject not be aware they are being photographed. The value relationships on the beach are tricky, and you can’t just go by a photo because the darks are often way too dark and the lights tend to be either bleached out or over saturated. The only solution is to work outside enough to compensate. I enjoy painting these loose and direct, for the color and composition rather than a finished rendering. So, please, excuse my mess.
