Acrylic Paint: 18" by 24" Panel
This is another surfer piece, created to improve my painting skills which were so technically deficient on my last surfer creation. One of the main aims of this painting was to show the free movement of the wave without making it too forced. While I'm not going to be creating many more surfer pieces for IB Art, I'd really like to make some to sell and for family.
This is painted from a reference picture, which I'll link to when I find my sketchbook.
I like the dynamism and use of colors/shading.
I think where you've put the character (surrounded as he is) is giving a great visual impact
I'm not sure about the reflection... I'm a big zero in perspective/proportions and, oh well, realistic drawing in general but I was asking myself why we don't see one arm and his head (?). Anyway, great work dear
