Hello, everyone. This is a recent post I placed on Red Bubble that’s entirely Photoshop. It is a digital painting of a beach scene in Miami Beach. The colors are brighter than the original picture, because that is my slant and I like giving it an Art Deco feel. I used a couple of filter to obtain texture of the sand and sea. However by and large, it is paintbucket, airbrush, pen tool. In your look at this, if there is any suggestion I could get on creating the best effect for beach sand, besides the Noise filter over a solid color base.

I like it. Not sure about the sand, but it’s cool overall.

challeging composition with the vertical cut made by the umbrella pole which I suggest may also be brought in front of the leg and fully to the foreground. Minor detail. The image is great, the light, clarity and sharpness suits the content perfectly. I love the marks on the sand, it adds life to an otherwise flat area. Well done.
