Acrylic on canvas, 8 x 10 inches. This is a beach scene with mountains in the background. The real focus of this painting was the figures at the beach. The project was based on one of Richard Robinson’s lesson’s, Hanalei Bay, a beach on the island of Kauai. I modified the mountain background scene, but kept the beach much as he presented it. He recommended practicing with the figures by drawing them on a separate surface, before going to the painting. I did that, but I have a lot of work to do to improve putting people in my paintings.
