I'm not doing art for school and I don't often get around to doing it for fun. But I've started doing photo commissions as gifts for special friends, when there's a picture I really like with sentimental value. This is a painting I did for my sister of my niece Kimberly.
 |
| This is the original photo |
 |
| I drew the picture, put up some preliminary beige sand stuff. |
 |
| Forgot to take more progression photos, But I colored in Kimberly, put masking fluid over the foamy/white areas of the picture. I was nervous about starting the ocean because I've never painted one before. I also wasn't sure about how to show perspective and distance in the oncoming wave, so I did a layer of sandy color in the shallow portion of the oncoming wave. |
 |
| Tossed together some colors, tried to blend some colors. Impressions in the sand, evening out the darker part of the ocean. |
 |
| David's selfie interruption. |
 |
| Not only did David take a selfie, he also took one look and said. "You need more detail in the sand." Such a gentleman. |
 |
| Aaaaand, we're done. Full color scan and crop. |
All in all, not so bad.
