Paul Signac "Etud Port-En-Bessin" Color Study




My first attempt at color study. This is my interpretation of Signac's Etud Port-En-Bessin in pastel colors. It was difficult trying to imitate the effect of distinct brush strokes that Signac had. Although I had fun with trying to match the mix of colors in the sky, sand and water. The most difficult areas were the land and grassy portions of the painting because they had an assortment of shades of green, brown and gray and selected parts had distinct texture and obvious strokes. I will need to work on bringing out more texture with this medium - pastels.
