Can you see yourself under the pink striped umbrella at the beach with me this Summer?

It's not as difficult as you might think to paint a beach and ocean scene. When I first moved to San Diego, I thought I couldn't paint seascapes. The trouble was I thought I needed a special education on oceanography and wavology to be able to sit on the beach and paint. However, after studying the beach while walking, gazing and sitting I realized that to paint beach scenes all you needed to do was look at the ocean and the sand and put marks on your paper with paint to describe what you saw.

I am going to teach at the beach this Summer and share with you how to paint what inspires you at the beach. Want to sign up for a class with me? Email me soon with your thoughts at anywhereart4u@gmail.com
