Sunset, Fraser Island

Key Takeaways: 

• This was a speed painting challenge. It took around 35 minutes all up. This is a great test of your instinctive painting abilities.
• Mood and ambience are the key features. I wasn't too worried about the drawing.
• There's a powerful contrast between the shadows and the warm lights.
• Notice the thick paint and multicolored strokes.
• The boats are vague. This plays into the impressionist style and the overall lack of clarity in this low-light scene.
