Seascape Storm & Light

A Welcome Change.

Having the blue days replaced by stormy days, the sunbathers might be sad, but for the painter, it's a welcome change.

With the easel up high - above the blowing sand - and not being fearful to catch some rain during the session, it's just awesome.

The light on the ocean was the main reason to paint this view, but in this case, the figures make this painting. ↪ A strong foreground can help a painting a lot.

↪ You can start with the foreground, or place it in at 1/3 into the painting. ↪ Never wait until the end.

↪ Sometimes there's 'nothing there' or no foreground. That's very fine too. Then the painting will be more about sky & sea.
Maybe you then can fit smaller figures in, just to accentuate the light or perspective.
