Sketched out the rocks outline and painted wet into wet, the sea behind the rocks. Had difficulty creating out-of-focus, faded waves in acrylics.
Day 2 16/04/2022
Added more wave outlines to the background and began painting the rocks in wet on dry.
Day 3 17/04/2022
Added more detail and structure to the rocks
Day 4 20/04/2022
Started at the LHS of the rocks to fill out colours and shadows.
Day 5 21/04/2022
Finding it really hard to get the structure of the rocks.
Colours need more work.
Day 6 23/04/2022
I'm not feeling the love with this painting. It seemed like a very good idea, but, as it has progressed, it's become onerous - a bit like the Highland Cow.
I'll be glad when it's finished.
Day 7 28/04/2022
Started to add more detail on the rocks at Get Painting. Added more at home.
Day 8 29/04/2022
Filling in the shadows and adding colour to the waves.
First coat of varnish and painted the sides of the canvas.
