Painting Water

We have a lot of painting on the go in the studio for our residential window “Bonsai Rock” (a local landmark named by our client for the small but perfectly formed trees that grow on top) . Bigger projects require the painting to be divided into manageable sections on multiple easels so that we can work on them simultaneously and cross reference how the areas are working together at various stages. Water can be tricky, for this section we have used acid etching on pale blue flash to illustrate the white crests of the waves at the beach and John is using painting techniques to illustrate movement as the waves approach the shore line.
