Day 30 - Lowestoft beach

[vilakins]

This is based on another one of quarryquest's lovely photos of her new home town Lowestoft posted a couple of days ago. This is the beach, a photo that attracted me with its simplicity and peace. Done in Artrage.

Ah, I recognise the scene from the photo. Very nice, I especially like the wooden groyne.

[vilakins]

Thank you! I think the fence (I don't know the word "groyne") really makes the composition.

That's beautiful. I particularly like the openness, and the contrasting textures.

Thanks! I love playing with Artrage.

Ooohhh, lovely - makes me want to take a weekend on the coast...

I'm right near it; in fact I was very close to the sea today, but up a steep hill. Still, it's not really like that here; I liked the isolated look of this scene.

Oh yes, I thought that photo was exactly the right thing for you!
And here you are, with that fantastic painting!!! The pebbles, that gorgeous sea, event that liner on th horizon, that typical fog/clouds ... stunning!

Thank you! As soon as I saw that photo I knew I wanted to paint it. :-)

That's beautiful. I love how you did the texture of the sand.

Thanks! That was the very useful sprinkles I also use for leaves. :-)

Oh that's lovely! Very clever use of the textures for the beach, the sea, and the sky.

Thank you! Artrage is so much fun. If you're interested, it's only about $20 or so at the low end and the virtual media behave very like the real thing. Proper artists use it. :-)
