the shoreline
Step 11
Using a mix of Burnt Umber, Naples Yellow and Yellow Ochre, (not mixed together though) this time putting the colour on the brush as it is
I worked this paint from the outside of the canvas towards the centre.
Step 12
Using more Naples Yellow and a little Yellow Ochre, I did the reflection in the centre - in a downward stroke and then 'across' from side to side, which gives the appearance of reflection.
Step 13
The next stage was just to add some extra white here and there and a few random strokes across the sand
Step 14 will come later - I intend to leave this painting for a week - let it rest (and me) and come back to it.
In fact I already see where there are areas for improvement, but perhaps that's because I have just been painting, and am too close -
I'll come back to it with fresh eyes - but hope you have enjoyed the WIP so far!

Ciao Ann, bellissimo il tuo quadro! Io amo moltissimo il mare sia d'estate che d'inverno e qui direi che è inverno, con luci e movimento dell'acqua che colpiscono al cuore. E' molto bello anche il cielo, ma l'acqua è irresistibile|..
Ciao, a presto, Floriana
This is incredible. To echo the other comments, it is really nice seeing how your painting comes together. So many artists are shy about showing their process, but I think this is one of the most interesting parts. I know I would otherwise have no idea how something as rich as this comes together!
wow!!! i love the highlights on the waves! It makes me want to go to the beach!
Thank you Floriana:)
Actually I am shy of showing the process, but felt I need to get over that hurdle....glad I did.
