Re: Surf

Hi, Annie, we are spoiled over here with amazing coastline. Esperance in particular has that pure white sand, and the crystal clear turquoise water.
You did a good job on this piece. Normally I'd be commenting on the horizon too, but with the midground indicating some decent sized surf you can often get a lumpy horizon with swells marching across it.

Re: Surf

I've recently started experimenting with watercolours and I think this is quite good. I'm attempting seascapes but I have a long way to go with them until I get a decent picture. This is a very pretty one.

Re: Surf

I like this - lovely clean colours and a very real sense of movement.
