It was a beautiful day on the coast with whales going by and sightseers. I went out about 10 AM and painted until 4:45 PM with fellow painter, Rob Decker.
I started the morning with a warm up painting of the park entrance road surrounded by trees on an 8x10 board.
I then turned my attention to the ocean and did a few value sketches. That is when I asked Rob his thoughts about moving the horizon line of the ocean and sea. I wanted to know was it better to paint what I saw or adjust the horizon line down between a large rock. He thought I would run into a perspective problem. I decided to paint both. It was fun. I put the 5x7 boards next each other on my easel and painted them side by side.I need to add some branches and a few waves but here are the results.
As you can see, these are similar to yesterday's studies but with more detail.
