“Cape Ann Walk”
9 x 13

This work began as a demo for my Cape Ann Workshop, which took place June 22 – 25, 2009.  Unlike most of my work, this one began using a reference photo taken by one of the students. The photo depicted a gray, rainy day  on which a few brave souls decided to take a walk on the beach.  Most of my work begins with sketches, however, this one did not.  For demo purposes, I jumped right in, making a quick sketch of the large shapes and starting with the initial washes.  By the end of the days class, the work was well along, but not nearly complete.  More work in the studio got the worked to its finished state as shown here.
