From the Beach - Kona

Couldn’t pass this view up.

I had a little bit of extra time on my hands in Kona today so I packed up a few supplies and walked down the street about 20 minutes to find this little beach.

2 gessoed canvases just waiting for the right beach <3

This is the first time I’ve unrolled these canvases and I’m anxious to see how they hold up.

wet paint!

Here I’m using my watercolor pastels as I only brought carry-on bags - so no liquid paint. The watercolor pastels are great for this case as I can use them like a colored pencil and then apply water - turning them into nice pigmented washes.

And here is where I’ll stop for today - we’ve got dinner plans later so I want to make sure I’m back at the hotel and showered after this incredibly hot painting session!

Letting the paint dry!
