Not quite a speed painting but not quite a masterpiece, either. I don't have the patience for one. I just wanted to paint.
Took many creative liberties when the reference was so small. It started out as a photo-realistic painting. When I wanted to stretch towards the finish line, I worked in the illustrative touch.
Your scene looks so much more attractive than the reference photo! Love the details and lines Once again inspiring me to get into some digital tablet work this holiday.
Wow, I looked at your reference and the photo was quite horrific. You somehow made it seem more serene with the beach. I love the details you made with the buildings. I can feel the edges with my eyes!
