BACK BEACH WAVE - FINAL PAINTING WKSP27

12"X12" Oil on canvas.I decided to do a little bit more to it and fix the large rock as well. I am much happier with the colour now.They probably were not very strong contrasts on the first submission.

Comment by Ningning Li on November 24, 2013 at 14:30: Maria, Thanks to let me know. I am relaxed as you are happy about the result after you retouched it. I forgot to tell that you do not have to follow my suggestion. Just treate it as only a view and a reference. I mean that you do not have to follow anyone's idea only if you totally agree with those thought. Everybody are different and we are still learning. Trust yourself and your first feeling. I was greatly helped by our classmates. I retouched my works and they looked much better. I can not thanks them enough. Eventhough, be careful before your retouch. You paint very well indeed.

Comment by Maria Woolrich on November 23, 2013 at 10:56: Thank you Ningning. After taking another look at it I think you are right.:-)

Comment by Ningning Li on November 22, 2013 at 12:30: Maria, I enjoy your colour combination, the detailed description of thes shapes of the rocks, the birds and the movement of the waves. I also love your brush strokes, they are very fluent . Maybe the light effect could be a bit stronger. I mean the colour around the sun, at the eye of the wave and on the rocks which are in the way of the sun light and the reflection in the water could be lighter so that it will make it more drama. Just a view. Although we are following Richard's composition, you showed me an excellent control in design. Everything in the painting are elegently posted in a propriate position. Lovely and very well done.

Comment by Maria Woolrich on November 21, 2013 at 12:40: Thank you Silvana "& Laura xu. I think having that limited palette controlled my temptation to use to many colours.Yes, more pleased with that rock now Jessica. Thank you.

Comment by Jessica Futerman on November 20, 2013 at 22:49: Wonderful colour, Maria - and I like what you did with the big rock!

Comment by Nancy Sands on November 20, 2013 at 18:03: Maria, you really did amo up the color on this one. Both paintings are lovely. They are a good contrast and each stand strongly alone. I like the softness of the first and the vibrant color of the second.
