The first thing I always paint is the sky. You can see I really glopped on the white paint for the clouds.

I'm done for now. The sand and grass are so wet that they'll need to dry before I can do anything else.

DAY THREE: the sand is dry so I'm going to add a few more colors to it. I don't like how pastel the grass is right now. The colors got muted from the white in the sand.

I added quite a bit of dark blues and browns to the base of the grasses. I think this is a nice balance to the row of blue chairs. It also helps the bright green grasses pop out of the shadows.
I love it. It’s one of your best ever.
What a great painting of beach umbrellas and the beach! Could not have named it better myself!
