Sanibel Island Beach Day!

'Beach Day' 8x10 pastel

This is my demo painting from class today. We had 'Beach Day' and everyone painted a beach scene. It was a good opportunity to talk about composition of beach scenes and different ways to paint the sky and sand. I demonstrated how to paint sand using fixative on the bottom layer. Everyone did great work and it was a lot of fun. Our next class will be next month and we will be having a mini workshop on the color wheel and color schemes.
