One at a time

Tide 2
oil on canvas
6 x 6 inches
©Ann Thompson Nemcosky

This is the second painting in my Tide series and painting #60 of my 100 painting project. I still don't know how many of these little paintings of the surf I will do but I am enjoying the challenge of painting them. I am also enjoying the balance of alternating working in oil with colored pencil drawing. I don't know if I would ever settle on just one media as each has its own challenges and rewards. I suppose that if I had a larger working space I would have several projects going on at once. As it is, I paint one day, draw on another, and it's all good.

    Gorgeous colors, Ann (and I see I am not alone in that thought)! I also can't settle on one medium, though I tend to use watercolors the most, I think.

    I like it - there is a real sense of movement in this painting.

    The colors you used are great. They create a unique mood that I like! I'm very interested in your transition between colored pencil and oils. I'm thinking of exploring oils myself. Any advice you could give would help!

    This is gorgeous! You're so good at painting the water and surf! Love the first one, too, with the purple colors. Beautiful work!
