Hawaiian Beach No. 01

Written By Ella Chiang

I’ve been looking through old photos on my phone and came across some beach landscape photos from a family reunion trip in Hawaii. I wish I knew the actual location, but this was from before phones added location info to the photos. But, I do know, it is somewhere on Oahu!

I’m curious how to paint the cresting waves better. It is stumping me a bit, like the first time drawing shadows, but then I learned the shadow’s edge looks more realistic when it fades out (the lines aren’t crispy). Will do some research.
