Boys on rocks

Not my best. I didn't feel like working on this one anymore, so it is what it is.  You might notice that the colors of the final painting are much more "blue".  It's because I paint at night and take the pictures under a "yellowish" light.  I took this final picture in daylight so that we could see the true colors.

I start with the drawing.  I'm really not good at painting people (or drawing), something I might work on in the future.

The sky was too dark, so I lightened it up a lot!

I added sand colored shadows to the rocks and lightened up the sea.

Added seaweed color to the rocks.

Added waves.

Added reflection of rocks to the sea and some light bouncing off seaweeds on rocks.

Final look in daylight.

My little sister drew it, I painted it.

Notice Casanova lending a paw to the bottom left.

My own sunflower creation.

Country trail

This painting is a trail in the country.

The color palette was created using 8 colors: ultramarine blue, white, lemon yellow, cadmium yellow medium hue, yellow ochre, burnt sienna, crimson red and cadmium red medium hue.

Drawing the scene

I started by painting the whole surface cadmium red to make this painting more workable. Then a quick sketch of the scene was good enough to get started.

With ultramarine blue, I quickly painted the sketch to have more visible cues.

And the painting begins.  Check out the following pictures to see this paintings progress.
