i haven't posted much work lately. i started a painting i have always wanted to do. a painting of a light house. i haven't finished it yet so i will post more pics as i go along. but this is what i have started with so far. i am really bad with ocean water so not sure how good the final work will come out.

Nice to watch works in progress. Have 'thought' about doing something my self but that is as far as I have got.
Good on you for starting something you have wanted to do in a while.

The lighthouse looks great so far.

Looks good at this point. Wish I had that kind of talent. (I am artistically challenged... Most here have more talent in their little finger nail than I do in my whole body.)

thanks guys for the comments so far. haven't had a chance to do much work to it yet. but was thinking about not even trying to show any water. cause like i say i'm bad with ocean water. so i may attempt, and i mean attempt a rock cliff instead...will post updates as i can get work done..hope you stay tuned

Nice start Rdgracer71. You've got some nice tones down already for the sky. If you want to get serious with water, I found these tutorials gave me a huge boost: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8XmF5 ... R5FwH8b8yg

did a little work on my light house painting. far from being done. a lot of areas still need a lot of work but i think it's coming together.

going on, but pay attention not to blur rocks.
I post here an example of what I mean

PS: my example is badly done, I'm not a digital painter, only to give you an idea...
