Work in Progress - Avalon Beach Scene

Here is my current 'Work in Progress' ....well here is my reference photo to start with. I plan to show you the steps I take to paint this scene in pastel. This is a photo I took last summer in Avalon, New Jersey. As you can see, the horizon is crooked and the colors are dull. I remember it as a beautiful blue-sky beach day with lots of color. In my painting I will make the colors more intense to better capture the feeling of a hot summer beach day.
