Beach Bums

11x15 watercolor completed yesterday having begun in David Savellano's Dallas workshop on Nov.12-14.  With this scene, we had to only use 3 shapes:  Sky, land mass, sea and beach.  Figures were made with tiny bits of torn masking tape stuck to dry paper before pigments added.  All was done within 30 minutes, an imaginary scene that is calming to look at.
