Family Beach Vacation

This image is a bright seascape illustration of many of my family members I painted in from photographs.  Particularly memorable to me because my children and I had been overseas for five years previously.

Untraditionally I like to use primed canvas for watercolour painting instead of paper.  The paint behaves in slightly different ways I’ve gotten used to, and there is never a fear of putting a hole in it by making the canvas too wet!

I hope the bright colours, happy people and Surf Life Saving Club Australia flag reminds you of the gorgeous beaches you’ve seen and the good times you’ve had.  If not, there’s always the future!  I recommend it, and perhaps this can inspire you.  If you’ve been to Rainbow Beach, Queensland then you can definitely already identify.
