sunset at the beach.. tobago.. attempt # 2. ( water colour ). Jan. 16, 2011.

I did try the painting again today.  The scene 'in real' is so very beautiful. Some technical errors again... but learning daily, with lots of practice.  Here is today's painting.

Such subtle colours and shades.

sunset at the beach.. tobago! ( water colour ). Jan. 15, 2011.

Today I tried to use some new colours and some new techniques.. more water, letting the paint move on the paper, as it will.  It was fun.  Here is the part of the painting that I like..lol..  I will admit I cropped the paintng, to remove a major error that I made, right at the end..  Tomorrow intend to try again.  This is today's result.

The original scene in a photograph. So subtle and beautiful.

Mt. Irvine Beach, Tobago. Nightfall. Jan. 1, 2011.

Armed with new paper, more colours, some new brushes, and a nice paint box to carry my paints and brushes in, I am again ready to paint!  First painting for the new year- a painting of Mt. Irvine Beach, on New Year's Day, 2011.
  The water was too rough for a swim, and the waves were large. But so beautiful to look at!
