Paintin...

This is a "plein air" painting I did in the studio(if you can do such a thing). I painted this from a photograph I pulled up on my computer. Even though this is inside, I approached it as if I was painting outside. I spent about two hours on this.
Mostly brush work with some knive painting to ge the crest of the waves and the pier. I also used the knife to create the shadows coming across the beach from the right. I like working with the knife but it is definitly going to take practice to get used to it.
