Here's a painting that I've been working on for 3 weeks now. The two surfers in the painting are me :-) only dude willing to pose! Shot the reference poses in the back yard on an overcast day and then used more reference shots for the boards an atmospheric conditions. I wanted to capture the raw beauty of surfing our coast and the particular beauty of Surfing Bolinas in the winter. I'm challenged by the fog effects along with the capturing the water just right. Also the flesh tones are still giving me trouble. Thought I'd take a break and get a photo of it. Funny how the photo helps you see perspective and proportion errors... very similar to looking at your work in the mirror or upside down. Back to the easel.......
