A Spanish friend of mine commissioned me to paint a picture of the beach near her home in Carnota, Northwest Spain.
This was a challenge as there were few features in the photograph I worked from, and the success or failure of my effort was dependent on my capturing the light and the colour perspective. I was allowed a little "artistic licence" but didn't abuse the privilege.
I used watercolour and a heavy weight Bockingford paper.
My painting and the original photograph are shown above...
