Rough Surf - An Interview with Nature #10

Rough Surf, by Keith Bond, 8 x 10

Painted:
May 20, 2010
6:00 pm
Painted on location, Goat Rock Beach, Jenner, California
Painted during week-long Sonoma Plein Air event.
Very windy.
Loud crashing surf.
My son gathered rocks and shells while I painted.

Water can be tricky to paint. It is constantly moving and changing. The trick is to observe the reoccuring patterns and paint that. Don't try to capture a freeze frame rendering. You want the water to look as if it is moving. Once again, the key is observation.

Kieth,

This is the best painting on your whole site! Love it. Composition is solid and color is perfect. I need to grab my wind breaker. The feel from it is amazing. I just returned from the Oregon Coast where it was blowing like the dickens and this captures that feeling as well as the wet moisture in the air. Great, just great.
