Carmel River Beach color study, 8×10, oil on panel<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Monterey Bay Plein Air Painters <\/a>were meeting for a paintout at Carmel River Beach<\/a>. I decided to join them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carmel River Beach is tucked away from the normal crowds, and offers views of the Carmel River as it moves through a lagoon and empties into Carmel bay. Expansive views of Point Lobos are in the distance. You might guess it’s also a favorite artists spot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon arrival, we found the parking was closed due to assembling a new coast guard life saving station. So, everyone parked on the nearby streets and had to walk a little further to the beach. I ended up parking a bit away, so instead of painting with the others on the beach, painted along the bluff overlooking the beach. Some painted the quaint Carmel cottages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was overcast and foggy the entire morning with occasional slivers of sunlight. I used to hate painting days like this, but have come to love the misty, foggy atmosphere, and some years ago started a ‘misty’ series of paintings I occasionally add to. You can see much of the series here<\/a>. (Looking back through these pieces, it seems collectors like them also, as most are sold, and one is currently touring in the Yosemite Renaissance show<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had commitments later in the day, couldn’t stay long, so did a quick color study. The above was about a 60 minute effort. Although a fairly simple piece, I was pleased with the colors, so consider it a keeper for future reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few more pictures of the day–<\/p>\n\n\n\n
