Hi Retha, Really nice! I'm a big fan of washy even though I don't do it myself. I like the way the sky has movement implied by the washes and the rocks look like the surf is wetting them down. I think this was really successful! Hope you do more!
(ps, what's A3 size? ) |

| Very nice, Retha. I have a similar wave painting that I did in watercolor on Yupo. I haven't photographed it yet. It was a true experiment, and I am still contemplating over it. Maybe I'll get it on here and get some good suggestions. I love yours. Especially like the splash, which I assume is gouache. Thanks for posting. |

| I like this too Retha...I especially like the sky with the watercolour spray textures in the far distance.The gouache effect on the wave works well too.

Hi Retha
You have captured the water movement very well...can feel the water splashing right in front!

| Excellent focal point and expression of the medium. Water is a very difficult subject. |
