Assignment 3 - Landscape painting from mixed sources

Local elements as both colour and texture references. Greys of the pebbles and the earthy reds of the shells or considered when painting the buildings and the sage green of the dried slate used as Awash in the fields in the background. Hint of indigo blue in some of the shells thought about adding this to the sky but thought against it as it may make the sky to dark and be at odds with the shadow and sense of sunlight hitting the sand:

Painting 1, study of the scene removing some of the background detail of the building that are visible in the photographs that I am using as a reference for this assignment.

In the final painting I have introduced  the church that I painted in one of the earlier exercise in this section of the course. Undecided as to he whether  this works happy that scale of the church is in keeping with it's surroundings.

Perhaps the child in the foreground could do with being a little bit bigger.
