This is my second choice painting. It is based off a Photo shopped picture that was a daytime beach with a night sky. Painting is my favorite thing to do in art, so I was happy to have several opportunities to try at this skill. For this painting, I used texture for the grass, value for the sand, and contrast for the sky and land. It was very difficult to do the tide at the end of the beach. I tried to capture the translucent water, which can not be easily painted. However, with Mr. Meserve's help, I was able to come fairly close. I also added the grass in the foreground to show depth. The sky was the easiest part, because I had practiced it a lot before. Overall, I was fairly pleased with the product.
