Two on the Beach was painted in stages in July 2019 and altered further in September 2019 in acrylic on to a base drawing using water-based coloured pens. The painted images where the left side woman has straight legs are 1500 by 1200 although others are 1600 by 1200 and displayed reduced (50%). The beach and sea scene is both imaginary and comes from a photograph of a crashing wave; the photographs of people provide a basis for the painting of two enjoying the sea. This painting, even as corrected, replaces a painting that I destroyed: click here or scroll down.
The above was to replace Two on the Beach at Dusk below as this painting no longer exists. An attempt to reduce the size of their heads then nearly succeeded but did not. It was painted in June 2019 in acrylic on to a base drawing using water-based coloured pens. Image is 1020 by 1200 and displayed reduced (50%). The beach and sea scene is imaginary; the two come from separate photographs although both people are in one of them.
This was painted after a one of the person on the right that took too long to do, also in June 2019. The experience here was much quicker and freer, and yet used again some of what I had adopted previously for smoothing transitions. Just to make things more difficult, I added legs not in the photograph and then the second person on the left. They're both bending their knees a bit and may be a little cold.
