Google "beach people photos" and look at the images ;-)

OK - thanks - I'll try!

Jon, you can do it. Get the dimensions of the canvas in the same proportions, the landscape you will be fine on - plan it out - the figurative stuff? Go to the beach and ask folks if you can take their photos for your painting ....... If not up for this, then get friends to do the poses etc on the beach. Build the references up within your very creative framework.

Thanks Caroline. Like I said to Chrisitine my attempts to paint it wouldn''t work! Dunno if I'll try again - it's so imagined/remembered there's no reference...

The composition is wonderful in this sketch...the little landscape of building is the gem. I can picture all the clouds on fire and those building all lit up with color. Not sure the people would be necessary...

Hi, Christine. Thanks - good ideas - maybe I'll try it again -can't remember exactly what problems I was having - I'll have to fish it out and see  - could always do it for the workshop - maybe get some motivation!

Great composition....... Jon have you measured up your sketch and transferred to a larger canvas with EXACTLY the same proportions h x l ? Then photocopy your original, put the 'union jack' lines on it and block in your darks ;-) ............

Thanks, Aurelia and Peter. I tried painting it - but couldn't get it to work very well - it's more an imagined memory than a real view!
