Late Morning on the Beach by Sally Shisler


Late Morning on the Beach by Sally Shisler  
4x4" - 20135, AVAILABLE

Feeling a bit out of practice here!  Although this painting might look simple, it was really elusive and difficult to achieve just the right sense of lighting.  If you can believe it - I hung on through 4 tries.  This is not a Potthast study, rather my own reference embellished with a few details that I learned during the months of studies I did a while back.  Most difficult was trying to get the girls' legs and feet in just the right placement, shape and reflected light in order to manage the illusion of which leg is leading and which is following.  More to come I hope; thinking about more Potthast studies though....
