Seaside - Ocean Bluff Beach Scene

Ocean Bluff Beach Stage One

Hazy, hot and humid were the words to describe this paint out.   I figured if there was going to be a breeze, it would be right on the beach.   I parked at an opening in the seawall at 13th Street in the Ocean Bluff section of Marshfield, MA.  



Seaside - Ocean Bluff

I set up facing north, a vista that included a beautiful old seaside home with a domed watch tower on top.  

The faint blue coastline jutted out a bit to the east (Humarock and Scituate Cliffs), and were barely visible due to the haze.  I used Gamblin quick dry white for this high key painting and I used quite a bit of it via palette knife especially for the high wispy clouds.   The ocean color was a pale summery green-blue.  At noon, I realized how thirsty I was and packed up as the painting was roughly 90 percent complete.   As always, I welcome comments and questions!
