This photo is the inspiration for my next photo from Hilton Head Island. It's going to be called BEACH CHAIRS.

DAY 1: Here's my drawing. After some thought, I decided to erase the chair and umbrella on the left side so that the focus of the painting was the pair of chairs in the middle of the canvas.

Next I worked on the water... and then the large beach chairs. I wanted to make sure you felt like you were looking through the mesh fabric on the chairs. This was a little tricky. To get the feeling of the mesh impeding your view, I added gray to the areas I was painting that you'd see through the chair fabric.

When the chairs were done, I added more little chairs and little people sitting down near the water.
