CHINA COVE STUDY - SOLD


Another painting from our trip up north to Pt. Lobos Nat'l. Park.  The area at the end of the park is called China Cove and is truly beautiful.  The water is tropical looking and the hole in the rock (upper left) is almost like a cave unless you see it from the right angle.  I painted this one with palette knife.  The painting I did previously of China Cove was also with palette knife which seems to work well with rocks and water.  I find that with palette knife I am able to get more paint down without disturbing the underlayers of paint so the color is cleaner.  I hope to learn to do this with a brush--something more to strive for...

  2. Thanks, Jacqueline! I do enjoy the palette knife, but it seems primarily for landscapes! How about you?
    Do you feel painting so frequently has helped you improve? I'm amazed how it has helped me. Leslie really has it right! She is the master of the palette knife.
