Marina Beach, Chennai

Watercolor on Bockingford paper
14 x 21 inches

My earlier painting of the same place was liked by many and so I decided to paint another beach scene. I used masking to preserve the whites for the waves. Also the original reference didn't have any figure in the foreground which looked kind of empty. So I chose this woman from another of my references, placed her where I wanted to, after some adjustments in the drawing stage. Hope you like it!
Have a wonderful weekend :)

Evening at Marina beach

Watercolor on paper
14 x 19 in.
Whenever in Chennai, I try to visit the Marina beach, a very popular tourist point. This is painted from one of my reference photos of the beach.
