This morning I painted at Mission Beach in San Diego, with the Wednesday Painters from the San Diego Watercolor Society. Even by ten there was still quite a bit of fog, although the sun was bright. The figures on the beach were backlit and seemed to be silhouettes against the morning mist. It seemed like a good opportunity to show the figures by using negative painting, that is, painting the area around the figures, but not actually painting the figures.
This is a 12 X 23-inch gouache painting on black paper.

The seagulls were awesome, they were waiting by a trash can in hopes of a handout, and I was able to get their lines down.
