A Good Beginning - Beach Stones

For this large scale watercolor, I used two large full sheets of arches watercolor paper (22x30) and put them side by side for a total size of 30" x 44". I took a photo of the rocks and pebbles on a Cape Cod beach and thought this image would be wonderful for a large scale piece; it is simultaneously realistic and very abstract, which I love. That duality in painting is always exciting to me. I've posted the finished image later in this blog - showing the two side by side.
