Angourie The Blue Pool

Thanks Robin not sure if you can swim in it? there’s one that’s called The Green Pool too. I think it must have something to do with the minerals??

thanks shanghaiwu, re different I tend to paint a bit like a couple of people I admire! I try hard to get away from their style.

Hi JayVee I did both,or 3 things, a sketch, and I couldn’t see the ocean properly so I sort of put that bit in [you can see if you stand on the hill [ bank] in the foreground, to the right [can’t see here! ]I couldn’t climb so I had to remember that bit,! It looked a beter comp.

I took two pics hoizontal stitched them and used them for references.

I always get lost if I work from just from photos! too much missing or too many things in the way.I like to alter the landscape to suit.

thanks Murray , I hadn’t thought I’d mastered it! thanks,
I think, look into it and paint what you see. I don’t like exact work though. Horizon line is important, water is always level. [I have a fusspot critic here that waves a ruler aound] the next trick is to make sure the photo is straight! This is framed so I can’t get a larger pic for here for a framed version for the moment, unless I take it out [underglass] and it’s always messy taking out pastels.

oh that’s interesting Lyn. usually things look smaller when you grow up. It’s the first time I have seen it, do you know why it’s so blue? Did you swim in it? I wished I had more time to sit and paint, I hate doing things from photos.Not sure why, but I always get muddled.
I hope to get back one day!

thanks Karin, I love Iluka too.I hadn’t put this on before as it’s in a frame and I don’t want to take it out atm so only have small files.
