Beach Fun

5 x 7 (plein air)

Just a sketch from the week at Palm Beach. I also did an 11 x 14 with this same composition. I'm just trying to get it right the first time. Quickly. No 'messing with it'. Put down the brush stoke and leave it alone. You wouldn't believe how much discipline that requires. But actually, one thing that you learn after a lot of practice is that it is possible to wipe out a small section, or a person, or a horizon line, and hit it again with that one stroke that works. There you have it. A secret that took me a long time to learn, and you just got it in one paragraph. If it was only that easy!

Thanks for looking.
