Wanting to cut loose and paint a slightly abstract pastel I bought this fab uncluttered and stark beach scene.

Stark, high-key yet poetic - this is the image for me!

Do you like it? It’s all soft sand and blowy sky with that rock and some seaweed as accents. A place where you can step out of the world for a while and merge with the sea and sky with sand under your feet.

I am using my Unison pastels and Canson cream pastel paper.

I have more work to go and to be honest am just feeling my way with this as pastel is not my medium usually…watch this space…but this is where I am with it now. I am hopeful and full of expectation - thinking about it in my head as to how I will proceed to give it more richness and depth with the odd kick of light and reflection where it needs it:)

This is where I will stop painting for now…

Dreaming of dipping my feet in the surf of a sandy beach and drifting along the shoreline scanning for whatever the ocean has cast upon the sands led me to paint a series of sealife paintings.

Featuring corals, shells, and seaweeds I wanted a botannical collector look for these special limited edition prints.

Beachcomber’s Bounty - Limited Edition Archival Print 1 of 15

I will only create 15 of each one. They will be printed individually by me using an archival Epson Photo Stylus printer using Epson watercolour radiant white paper. It’s surface shows off al the subtelies of the paint to a tee.

A perfect addition to your beach house or bathroom.
