Sea Sand Summer

11x4 mixed media on 140 lb cold press paper done today, the first day of August, a day I like to think of water, lakes, ocean, the sand and enjoy the rest of summer. I used acrylics to make marks on the paper then used a small palm tree ink stamp, and watercolor to fill in the background. More acrylics used at random with stencil. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

Beach Bottle

8x8 watercolor on Italia Magnani 140 lb cold press paper done over the weekend of a green bottle on the beach (ref courtesy WetCanvas RIL). I enjoyed the cloudy skies and the light passing through all of it to the sand and water causing a reflection. White Nights paints were used. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

Beach Beverage

5x7.75 watercolor on Italia 140 lb cold press paper painted over this past weekend from an online miniature painting challenge.  I love the shadow the drink cast upon the sunlit beach sand and the distant water.

Splashing Waves

11x14 poured acrylics on canvas done yesterday in a class on the subject, very messy but worth the effort for this abstract seascape.  Silicone oil and Floetrol were mixed in the paint.  No brushes or predrawing.
