This is a 30 minute soft pastille study
of a sea/skyscape. The contrasting orange sand and blue sea and sky are aesthetically
pleasing as they are opposite each other on the colour wheel. The colour of the
sea changing gradually from a more saturated blue to a less saturated blue/grey
and then hitting the lighter value blue of the start of the sky creates depth.
There is a line which leads the viewer’s
eye diagonally across the image created by the row of small wooden pillars that
go from the sand into the sea, as the perspective on the row forces the viewer’s
eye to continue moving across the page in that direction in an implied line after
the row itself has stopped. This is also aided by the composition of the image
showing the shore line at an angle which goes against the angle of the wooden
pillars, to force the perspective, as would not be the case if the shore was in
a straight line across the page.
