So here is the watercolor of my lighthouse sketch. I added the sailboat to add some interest to the right side of the painting. I really like the effect I got with the marine layer (payne's grey) and the blue sky. I simplified the waves, and darken the lighthouse...maybe a little too dark.
Some watercolor painters it's tell me they work on more than one plaiting at a time. So while waiting for one to dry, they work on the next. As I worked on my second Santa Cruz inspired painting, I realized that in order for painting more than one painting at a time to be effective, they need to have similar palettes. I kept having to completely rinse off each brush.
This second seascape was done from a photo I had taken. I needed to crop more of the foreground out. On this painting I tried to put more focus on the waves.
