Life Art


Two Privately on the Beach. Painted in August 2018 in acrylic on a medium canvas. Displayed at approximately 37.5% image.



I thought it had finished as below. I did not like the uniformity of the waves. Arms needed to be wider. The second woman's face - on our right - needed improving. An unintended effect was the first woman's face became less aggressive (as above) from what it was (below), and therefore more excited and welcoming, as the viewer looks at them.



Below shows the drawing and first coats of acrylic paint underway, again trying colour variation which later coats must fight and partly let through. Displayed at 37.5% image. I like the later more aggressive look in the woman to our left.
