Children on the Beach



I've been working on a series of paintings for a local shop The Potting Shed which feature children playing on the beach. I've done a small version based on this photo which has come across really well. The painting is painted primarily in black and white, with tones of dark brown, then as an accent colour I also added a red bucket for the girl and a red spade for the boy. The painting shows really well how elements from a photo can be kept as they look in the photo whilst also adding features from the imagination that add to the composition.
