Is realism necessary – part ii

by maggie

So if we are going for effect, lets go!

this one is about A6 in size. On the beach detail?

Both sides of this paper were interesting: so use both. the white interior of the torn edges makes a good quartz vein.

The background here is a little weak, but none of these are mounted yet.

Or you can go with a theme: colour RED

or GREEN…

Or minimalist (all these are about A5)

I have some 30×100 canvases. How could a horizontal composition work? in a big sweep?

or a vertical one? ‘walk’ up the frame…

Such a diverse selection of pebbles might not occur in nature.

Pass the time arranging pebbles on the sand.

…all these are a bout 30cm wide.

Or maybe pile then on the rocks.
