I’ve been wanting to paint at the beach for days, if not weeks. Today I came down to Long Beach and set up next to a lifeguard tower and almost directly across from a power plant island. I really enjoyed making these and I am pleased with them. I especially like the last one of people sitting on the beach with the view of the pier behind them. I painted this one without sketching in pencil first. I just laid my washes in and left space for the people. It took some thought and planning. Not to mention patience since I usually sketch in pencil first.
