I spent a good part of the day trying to paint a more abstract seascape and had a tricky time trying to get the right colour balance, having to rework the piece several times but eventually got there to my satisfaction.
I worked on mounting board with acrylic and guache mix as usual, and the proposed size was large for me, approximately 14"x11" . So maybe unfamiliarity with the size of the painting slowed me down too.
The subject of the painting is the Isle of Skye as seen from Kyle of Lochalsh on the west coast of Scotland.
