Sun-ray

Sun-rays in a painting is always fun. Dry brush scrubbing with almost no paint on the brush can make the rays.

Like everything we do in art it can become a gimmick or a tool. Angles and as always it is shadows. Light expands. Dark contracts. Put your lightest light next to the darkest dark.

Contrast color against color. Red against green. Blue against orange. Let these colors hit the viewers eye and blend or bounce.

We can use the silhouette to define our distant horizion. Tan for the sandy beach and a tooth brush to flick shells and rocks on the beach.

Have fun with it and paint on.

Keep your  brushes wet.
