I'm finally getting close to finishing up my oil paint. Next week I plan on completing the palm tree and any finishing touches.

 

This is a piece from the UMD art gallery I attended back in March at the Tweed Museum of Art. I found this collage of fish scultures very intriguing and it captured my eyes. I really like how the artist make the sculpture half fish, half human with the legs. It gives the piece a unique part and enjoyable to look at and examine.

I've finally started to paint in the palm tree. It's been taking a lot of time because I have to be so precise, but I'm liking the way its turning out.

Finally finished the sunset background and I'm starting on the beach and palm tree. It has been taking me way longer than expected.

I've really been working hard on the blending and layering of the sunset. Going from the peach color to purple has been a hard transition.

This is my oil painting. I've really been working on blending the sunset together and getting lots of layers of paint on the top of my canvas.

This is my progress of the blocking in the main colors of my beach sunset. Next im going to work on the fine details and add the palm tree.
