Usually when I sit down to paint, I have everything laid out. I know what colors & techniques I’m going to use, & what picture or tutorial I will work from. This painting happened one day when I sat down & didn’t know what to paint. I had a lot of time on my hands & the painting was getting finished much too fast for my liking, so I turned the beach into a series of small dots which I had never done before. Then I took a dry brush & brushed the colors together for an aged effect. I couldn’t have done this well if I had tried. Sometimes it pays to just let yourself go & let the painting just happen.
